Women empowerment
FIYO strongly believes that economic empowerment is crucial in ensuring that FIYO achieves its mission and vision. As such, the organization supports women to start up income generating activities from their own savings as well as organizing them into cooperatives,
Over the last 12 years, FIYO suports 50 cooperatives with over 1,000 members of whom 60% are women.
The majority of the members of cooperatives are graduates from literacy classes.
As it is believed that a woman is a back-bone of a familly then she has to be empowered economically.
