Reducing Barriers to Women's Economic Empowerment in El Salvador and Honduras

WAGE's first strategic initiative, Reducing Barriers to Women's Economic Empowerment in El Salvador and Honduras, takes a holistic view of the challenges that female entrepreneurs face in starting and growing sustainable businesses, including linkages between financial inclusion, gender-based violence, and conflict. ​Together with Kiva, an online loan platform that connects lenders to indigent entrepreneurs across the globe to alleviate poverty, WAGE provides financial support to women entrepreneurs and works with local microfinance institutions (MFIs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) to reduce barriers that women in both countries face in the world of business.
