We Connect

We Connect Women to Markets by opening doors to fair markets, new buyers, partners, and sustainable value chains that enhance economic resilience.

The Challenges Rural Women Face Are Real

Across Ghana’s rural communities, women carry the responsibility of providing for their families, yet:

Business knowledge is scarce.
Middlemen take most of their income.
They lack access to fair and profitable markets.
Quality processing tools and infrastructure are limited.
Social and economic barriers keep them from opportunities.

These challenges keep generations trapped in poverty — but together, we can change that.
