Intervention Council for Women in Africa firmly believes that empowering women to be key change agents is an essential element to achieving the end of hunger and poverty the world over.    Our programs also aim to support women towards building their capacity within their various enterprises By providing women easy access to credit, adequate training and instilling in them the importance of saving, as well as loan re-payment culture, such credit enables women to engage in income-generating activities to increase their incomes and invest in their businesses, pay their children's school fees, construct local conveniences, purchase medicines, pay for health care, and make home improvements or build new homes.

Studies show that when women are supported and empowered, all of society benefits. Their families are healthier, more children go to school, agricultural productivity improves and incomes increase. In short, communities become more resilient.
Furthermore, through participation in the program, women leaders develop self-confidence and assertiveness, gaining elevated status in their households and communities.
