Yet, their vital role is not adequately recognised, as women often lack access to productive resources, training, markets and other services and have a weak voice in decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>At Self Help Africa, our vision of an economically thriving and resilient rural Africa involves creating a level playing field for women. But we know that progress doesn\u2019t happen overnight.<\/p>\n<p>This is why our programmes use a gender-sensitive approach, integrating the different skill sets, needs, priorities, vulnerabilities, and responsibilities of women and men from the onset.<\/p>\n<p>Pressing for and achieving women\u2019s empowerment involves increased access to &#8211; and control over &#8211; finance and resources, including land. It means raising awareness, building self-confidence and giving African women both the confidence and the opportunity for their voices to be heard&#8230; All those actions can transform the structures and institutions that reinforce and perpetuate gender discrimination and inequality.<\/p>\n<p>By supporting our work, you are enabling women like Habibou, Lillian and Aster to press for change in their household and to press for progress in their communities. By setting up small businesses, producing more food on their farms, training other farmers on better farming practices, creating and joining groups and cooperatives and having the means to send their children to school and university, they set an example for other women and challenge the stereotypes that perpetuate gender discrimination and inequality.<\/p>\n<p>Empowering and involving women in development is essential to increasing food security and reducing poverty. Figures show that where women are provided with equal access to resources and opportunities, farm production can be increased by up to 20%. As women\u2019s status improves, so do the benefits for the entire society. Reducing the gender gap needs to be pursued for a just and equal society, free from hunger and poverty.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that, on this International Women\u2019s Day, you will find inspiration in the stories of some the women we work with as we continue to press for progress.<\/p>\n<p>Ray Jordan,<br \/>\nCEO Self Help Africa<\/p>\n<p><strong>Habibou Tiendrebeogo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/Habibou_850x504.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5188 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/Habibou_850x504.jpg\" alt=\"habibou_850x504\" width=\"850\" height=\"504\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Habibou, from Burkina Faso, is the sole provider for her four children. She is working hard to grow more on her small farm, applying the new farming techniques she\u2019s learnt from Self Help Africa. Habibou is advocating for change in her community, training women on how to build their own fuel-efficient stoves. This saves them the time-consuming and physical task of fetching wood for cooking fuel &#8211; a job traditionally done by women. In the words of her own daughter Fatimata, \u201cHabibou is a true role model\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/us\/the-route-to-school-is-through-her-fields\/\">Read her story.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aster Ayele<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/IMG_4442_2-e1520500123729.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7088 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/03\/IMG_4442_2-e1520500123729.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4442_2\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aster was one of the founding members of her savings and credits cooperative in her small village in Ethiopia.
