We train and equip women for success.  In partnership with The Heartbeat Rotary e-Club and MoonCatcher Project, women across Zimbabwe were trained to make reusable sanitary pads.  To ensure we maintain the integrity and vision of the MoonCatcher Project's visionary, which is to donate MoonCatchers to all school girls at no cost to them, as well as the desire by Dangwa Initiative founder to provide income generation as well as sustainability of the project, we created a pilot program.  The program was that women would be trained to make quality MoonCatchers.  For every 4 MoonCatchers, the women donate 1 to a school girl enrolled in school and they will sell the other 3.  Of the three sold, oe will be used to purchase more materials, for sustainability of the program and the other 2 will be income for their households.

Women in under-resourced communities are not lacking ideas...in fact they have incredible minds to solve local issues.  They are to looking for handouts because they are just as proud as you and I.  They want to maintain their dignity.  What they need are financial opportunities to put what they know into action.

Research has shown for decades that when girls and women are empowered, they not only change their own lives and their families' lives but they change communities for the better.  When women are given microloans, their payback rates are much higher than men.
