Path From Poverty

Path From Poverty, formerly Women's Enterprises International, reaches across cultures to transform lives and communities by partnering with women’s groups; empowering and equipping women to break the cycle of poverty. PFP is a Seattle-based nonprofit operating since 2000.

PFP partners with women's groups in the Ukambani region of Kenya. PFP believes that when a woman is given the tools to succeed, she not only lifts herself up, but also her family and her community. PFP provides training in leadership, income generation, and financial management.

PFP empowers change by creating a culture of savings and community. As women receive knowledge and tools to improve their lives, their capacity to earn money, save for the future, and contribute to their future and community increases. The support and training that the women receive within a group creates community and accountability they have never known before.

Utilizing the skills they learn, women are able to set financial goals, achieve them, and move to meet the most pressing needs in their community.

PFP currently contributes to the following women’s group projects in Kenya and Indonesia:

• Business & leadership training
• Clean water, in the form of 10,000L water tanks
• Solar power, including panels, charges and utility pack
• Education scholarships for orphaned girls
