Breaking the Cycle: Empowering Women in Poverty to Build a Brighter Future
Poverty impacts millions of women globally, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break. At Margo James Funds Inc., we are committed to empowering women who face economic hardship by providing the resources and opportunities they need to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
Why Women Are Disproportionately Affected
Women face unique challenges in poverty, often related to limited access to education, employment, and healthcare. They are more likely to shoulder caregiving responsibilities, which limits their ability to work or pursue personal development. Furthermore, gender-based violence, lack of economic independence, and systemic inequalities leave many women trapped in an endless cycle of poverty.
How Empowering Women Helps Communities Thrive
Empowering women has a ripple effect that benefits entire communities. When women gain access to education, employment, and resources, they not only uplift themselves but also provide better opportunities for their families. Educated and employed women are more likely to invest in their children’s education and health, breaking the cycle of poverty for future generations.
