Empowering Women in Kenya Triple E Program: Employment, Entrepreneurialism, and Education For Women

Zawadisha provides small loans to rural Kenyan women to help finance their livelihoods. We remove the barriers for rural women to access clean energy and water products by eliminating up-front

costs through an in-house financing and distribution program. Zawadisha provides loans for items like solar lamps, rain water tanks, and clean cook stoves. We deliver these items directly to rural villages and also provide trainings in leadership, financial

literacy, and micro-enterprise. Poor distribution and high costs make simple household items like rainwater tanks, clean cook stoves, and solar lamps out of reach to women whose lives depend upon them. Zawadisha is changing this. When rural Kenyan women living in poverty have access to renewable energy and water, they see a dramatic increase in the quality of their lives. Money is spent on school fees for children instead of on kerosene lamps.
