(UAA) brings economic and educational opportunities to deprived women in Africa, empowering them by giving them the skills and resources to improve their lives, and those around them. Women bear almost all responsibility for meeting basic needs of in most African’s family, yet are systematically denied the resources, information and freedom of action they need to fulfill this responsibility. Studies show that when women are supported and empowered, all of society benefits. Their families are healthier, more children go to school, agricultural productivity improves and incomes increase. In short, communities become more resilient.

In order to empower women, UAA provides Microfinance to make available to women micro cash loan and technical assistance to improve or begin income-generating small businesses. Once woman re-pay their loans, they qualify for higher loan amounts over a longer term. As result, women will generate long-term income for food, healthcare, housing and education for their family. Ended, UAA Micro-finance program have the potential to transform lives and impact women, in terms of both welfare and empowerment.
