Women and girls in underserved and island communities often face interconnected barriers to economic opportunity, education, healthcare, financial resources, productive assets, safety and participation in decision making.
These challenges can reinforce one another. RAHI therefore takes an integrated, community-based and locally led approach, working with women, girls, families, community structures, local leaders, health workers, schools, producer groups and other partners to create practical pathways towards greater agency, resilience, dignity and participation.
RAHI works with women and girls, particularly those experiencing poverty, exclusion and limited access to opportunities, to strengthen their ability to earn, organise, lead, participate and influence change.
We bring safe pregnancy education directly to mothers on the islands, helping them access antenatal care and deliver safely in health facilities.Women’s Economic Empowerment
Strengthening economic agency, financial confidence and the ability to access and control livelihood opportunities, through financial literacy, savings, entrepreneurship, livelihood development and market linkages.
Promoting collective action so organised women can save, invest, produce, negotiate, access markets and influence decisions, with an emphasis on governance, accountability and sustainability.
RAHI is committed to advancing women’s empowerment through an integrated approach that connects economic agency, gender equality, health, dignity, leadership, environmental sustainability and community-led development.
We believe that sustainable empowerment requires more than a training certificate. It requires skills, resources, networks, opportunities, confidence, collective organisation and a meaningful voice in decisions.
Our work seeks to create pathways through which women and girls can build livelihoods, strengthen their families, organise with others, participate in community life and lead solutions to the challenges affecting their communities.
Your support funds the training sessions, materials, and follow-up that help women on the islands build sustainable businesses and truly independent lives.
