Social-economic empowerment is the process of liberating people and communities from cycles of poverty and assigned social roles and giving them the resources, skills and useful knowledge, employment or education in the purpose to raise their family and communities’ incomes and economic opportunities.

Women’s Empowerment

Agape Frontiers makes a difference by offering vocational training and small business loans support women in need.  More than 300 women have completed tailoring programs through our social-economic empowerment program.  This joint Agape and Shinyanga Municipality initiative has also encouraged women to create tailoring groups that are officially registered and facilitate income generating activities.

Agape Frontiers advances women’s empowerment via independent micro, small and medium businesses.  We organize workshops that cover a wide range of skills from entrepreneurship, agribusiness, accounting, profit sharing, and marketing to business management.  We ensure that women’s workplaces are secure and productive.

Agape also commits to opening land rights to fair ownership and control, extending necessary financial resources through Village Savings and Loans Associations and Village Community Banking, and amending discriminatory laws.

We know that women invest around 90% of their earnings back into their families and communities.  Agape Frontiers proudly mentors such proactive social leadership.

Agape Frontiers knows that scarcity inhibits progress.  Financial stability enables better health and education outcomes as well as greater social justice.

Over the years, we have provided hundreds of chickens, goats and sheep to farming families so that they can enhance their livelihoods.  We have donated more than 200 bicycles to school children in need.  We have supplied almost 500 classrooms with teaching and learning materials.  We have also given dozens of sewing machines to the female tailoring trainees
