Sustainable economic empowerment goes beyond temporary charity—it requires actionable skills, start-up capital, and ongoing mentorship. Following practical entrepreneurship workshops in June—where 18 local women learned candle-making—Ewaka Foundation expanded its micro-enterprise support by providing three women with startup capital to launch a poultry farming initiative.
The objective was clear: equip low-income women with the tools needed to transition from economic dependency to self-sustaining business ownership.
In July 2026, the hard work paid off! The three entrepreneurs reached their very first commercial milestone by successfully selling six chickens from their flock, generating their first independent business revenue.
While still in its initial stage, this achievement demonstrates the immense potential of community-driven micro-enterprises. The women expressed great pride and renewed motivation as they reinvest their earnings and work toward financial independence. Ewaka Foundation will continue to provide regular monitoring and mentorship to help scale their business
