Lifting Communities

by empowering women through reciprocity

Our Mission

The mission of C.G. Women’s Empowerment is to create economic self-sufficiency for women, children, and entire villages in Ethiopia’s Oromia region.

Without intervention, women are unable to earn a sustainable, living wage—giving way to intergenerational cycles of abuse, poverty, and disenfranchisement. In response, CGWE creates economic self-sufficiency for women, children, and entire villages.
