Social support & Micro financing

All programs

WCC enables social support and micro financing for vulnerable women, helping them build economic independence and provide for their families with dignity.

Detailed scope

Social support and microfinance schemes target women affected by poverty, displacement, and gender inequality, offering small grants, savings groups, and business startup support.

Programs combine financial assistance with training in business skills, financial literacy, and market access tailored to local economic conditions.

Economic empowerment reduces vulnerability to exploitation and helps women participate more fully in household and community decision-making.
