Girls’ Education and Women’s Empowerment and Livelihood (GEWELL) Project

Fighting the dual challenges of poverty and gender inequality is essential to the achievement of inclusive growth and lasting peace. Girls’ Education and Women’s Empowerment and Livelihood (GEWELL) is an innovative response to this dual challenge for women and girls in rural Zambia. The project draws on rigorous evidence and the practical implications of delivering an effective program at scale in a low-income setting. To date, GEWELL has provided more than 50,000 extremely poor girls and women with support in order to access education and productive livelihoods.
