This initiative is part of a larger project managed by MicroLoan Foundation Australia, which is doing incredible work across Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

The goal? To help women lift their families out of poverty by giving them the tools to build and sustain small businesses.

What’s the project all about?

These women receive bookkeeping skills, financial literacy training, and microloans to kickstart or grow their businesses.

But it doesn’t stop there.

In tough times — like during climate-related disruptions or economic instability — the project steps in with no-repayment loans and food packs to keep things moving forward.

This kind of support ensures long-term success, not just for the entrepreneurs, but for their families too. And with each woman caring for an average of 4.2 children or vulnerable adults, the ripple effect is massive.

Looking Ahead: Impact with Purpose

Last year, MicroLoan Foundation supported more than one hundred thousand women across Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe — reaching over 800,000 lives through access to finance, training, and support. That’s the kind of impact that inspires us to keep going.

In 2025, we’re shifting gears from counting numbers to creating meaningful change. We’ve set a bold goal: 1 million impacts. It’s not about hitting a deadline — it’s about staying focused on what matters most.

We’re choosing projects that make a real difference — like this one — and putting the power in your hands. Every month, you help shape the journey by voting. We turn those choices into action.
Real impact. Real people. Real change.

Be Part of What’s Next

When women have access to the right tools — knowledge, resources, and support — they don’t just survive, they thrive. They build businesses, support their families, and uplift entire communities.

And this is just the beginning.

Keep an eye out for your next voting email — because your voice helps shape where we go next. When we combine purpose with profit and use business as a force for good, everyone wins.

Thanks for being on this journey with us.

Together, we are #MakingADifference.
