Economic Empowerment
Economic Empowerment for Mothers of Children with Disabilities
Families play a vital role in ensuring that children with disabilities have access to education. Through our Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) program, FIGA empowers mothers with financial skills, savings opportunities, and access to small loans that enable them to start or expand income-generating activities.
By strengthening household incomes, mothers are better equipped to pay school fees, provide essential learning materials, and meet the daily needs of their children. This initiative promotes economic independence, dignity, and long-term sustainability while ensuring that children with disabilities remain in school and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
“Empowering mothers today creates brighter futures for children with disabilities. Together, we can build inclusive communities where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive”
