• To build the capacity or train at least 300 women yearly on financial management skills (Record keeping, savings, investment and branding) to enhance their patronage.

• To give infrastructural support to at least 5 women economic interest groups to increase their productivity and as such contribute to the achievement of SDG 8 and 9.

• To support the establishment of at least 3 cooperative groups yearly among beneficiaries so they can be self-reliant and financially stable.

• To provide at least 500 women yearly from different groups affordable and clean energy by introducing clean stoves without smoke and as such contribute to the achievement of SDG 3, 7, 9, and 11 by 2020.
