WOMENSTRUST, INC.
| Our mission is to empower women and girls in Pokuase, Ghana, through microenterprise, education, and healthcare, and to inspire others to do the same elsewhere. |
 MICROLENDING
Microlending in Pokuase is the foundation of our success, and the relationships it fosters guide our integrated program. We continue to target poor women with our microloans, helping them to rise above unstable earnings of $1 a day. Currently 703 of our 1113 loan clients are active including our Entrepreneur's Club.
EDUCATION
Research definitively shows that educating girls dramatically improves all social indicators in a developing country. This year we nearly doubled the number of girls in our Keep Girls In School program from 64 to 128 students on scholarship.
 HEALTHCARE
A truly exceptional collaboration of volunteer healthcare professionals drives our health-screening program. In just two trips nurses screened 735 women, built trusting relationships with local healthcare officials, formed a local advisory council, and are working on a community-based model for sustainable healthcare delivery.
