Back Women Together. Strengthen Entire Communities.
Invest in Her is Global Health Connections' flagship campaign, a simple monthly investment in women's groups
already building stronger futures for their families and their villages.
What Makes This Different
The groups we fund sit inside CHECs whose members have already completed training in health, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship. Your investment helps them turn training into income, and income into lasting change for their families.
Every group you back is part of a larger community transformation through our CHEC model. Each project lifts not just the women running it but the whole CHEC that lends from the earnings.
Proof
Here's what's already happening across our villages.
In Kanyamfwa, the Tailoring Group recently completed their second share-out since GHC came to the village:
- 141,080 KSH total saved
- 80,010 KSH in interest, shared among members
- 43,000 KSH in profit
The group voted unanimously to reinvest the profit into a fourth sewing machine and more materials to expand stock.
In Nyamecheo, women pooled savings to lease land and run a shared vegetable farm with staggered weekly harvests and steady market sales.
Invest in Her funds groups like these directly, so the next viable project doesn't sit waiting years for the savings rotation to come around. And because project earnings flow back into the same CHEC table bank that's already feeding household income, your gift keeps working long after the grant lands.
Groups You’re Empowering
Jackline
A widow and mother of four, Jackline is part of the Kanyamfwa Tailoring Group, a women's savings group inside a GHC CHEC. She used a small loan from the group to buy a sewing machine and grow her income. Today she supports her family, educates her daughters, and pulls other women in the group along with her.
The Tailoring Group is exactly the kind of women's collective Invest in Her is built to fund. They've got the skills already. What they're missing is the seed capital.
Their next move is more machines and more materials, so other members can earn the way Jackline does.
Jane
A 64-year-old widow and mother of five, Jane (pictured left) is a member of the Kanyipir CHEC, one of the first four villages in the Invest in Her pilot. She's been the sole provider for her family since losing her husband 20 years ago. After learning how to make liquid soap through her CHEC, she started a soap business that now supports her household and her four grandchildren.
Jane built that business on her own.
Invest in Her will fund a women's group in Kanyipir, so the next women coming up after Jane can build together, with seed capital in their pocket.
Agnes
Brenda
A 35-year-old mother of three, Agnes is a member of the Nyamagesa CHEC, one of the four villages in the Invest in Her pilot. She used her first merry-go-round contribution to start a small business selling household essentials. The business has grown steadily, and she now contributes alongside her husband to support their family. She's saved enough to pay her children's school fees on her own.
Agnes started with one savings rotation and built from there.
Invest in Her will fund a women's group in Nyamagesa, so more women can launch their projects without waiting years for their turn to come up.
Brenda
Nyamecheo Women
Brenda
A 27-year-old wife and mother of two, Brenda lives in Nyamagesa Village, one of the four villages in the Invest in Her pilot. She used her first merry-go-round contribution to start a small business selling second-hand clothing. What began in her village has grown to include nearby markets. Today she contributes alongside her husband to cover school fees and daily household needs.
Brenda turned a single savings contribution into a steady source of income.
Invest in Her will back a women's group in Nyamagesa, so the next Brendas can start with seed capital from day one.
Milka
Nyamecheo Women
Nyamecheo Women
A 35-year-old mother of seven, Milka lives in Kanyipir Village, one of the four villages in the Invest in Her pilot. She turned her tailoring income into something unexpected: a tree nursery in her dry community. Using her savings, she began raising and selling seedlings, traveling long distances to fetch water and keep them alive. The nursery now earns enough to help her cover food and school fees for her family.
Milka built that nursery one bucket of water at a time.
Invest in Her is bringing seed capital to a women's group in Kanyipir, so the next woman with an idea like Milka's has a group behind her from the start.
Nyamecheo Women

Nyamecheo Women
A women's group in Nyamecheo Village, one of the four pilot villages for Invest in Her, pooled their savings to lease land and start a shared vegetable farm. They grow black nightshade, cowpeas, and spider plant, using staggered planting to create weekly harvests and steady market sales. The income helps them pay school fees, support their households, and reinvest in the farm.
This is the kind of group Invest in Her is built to fund. With seed capital, their next move is more land and more production.
She’s Not Asking for Charity.
She's part of a women's group ready to build a real business with the right seed capital.
