What Financial Independence Really Means for Rural Women
For many of the women we work with, healthcare is not within reach. Family planning services are limited, safe delivery costs are too high, and HIV treatment is inconsistent or far away. Clinics are distant and usually not welcoming. Nutrition, too, becomes a struggle in households where income is unstable or controlled by others. This is what poverty looks like when it intersects with gender; it restricts health, choice, and dignity.
