Did you know that investing in women's entrepreneurship creates a ripple effect within communities? 🌍

On our 20th anniversary, broadcaster and campaigner Sandi Toksvig explains just how Hand in Hand's global network supports women in the world’s toughest places to create businesses that raise their families out of poverty.

🎙️ 4.2M enterprises. 6M jobs. Can men's inclusion be the #GenderEquality game-changer? Backed by International Center for Research on Women & Cartier Philanthropy, #SocialImpactPioneers Dorothea Arndt Hand in Hand International & Ravi K Verma discuss efforts to tackle gender norms in our podcast: snipbfp.org/Dorothea_Ravi

Excited to be joining the #climatejusticesummit at #COP28 discussing how we work with #women smallholders to support them to adopt regenerative agriculture techniques #soilhealth #livelihoods

Missed Hand in Hand and Unilever's Business Fights Poverty event at COP28? 🌎 Don't worry, you can still catch Hand in Hand's Dorothea Arndt and Reagan Buluma discussing #regenerative farming here ➡️ hubs.li/Q02ds-Cs0

#Regenerative agriculture is a series of practices and techniques that restore, rather than harm soils, boosting farmers' yields and incomes as well as improving biodiversity. 🐝Find out more about our work here ➡️hubs.li/Q02dt7Zh0

Did you know that women in rural areas are more likely to live in poverty? Yet rural women play a vital role in safeguarding food security and building climate resilience, particularly in low & lower middle income countries (UN Women). ♀️🌱

At Hand in Hand, we believe education should be lifelong 💙 We provide women in some of the world's most deprived places with training, up-skilling and re-skilling so they can overcome barriers to digital & financial inclusion & create change in their communities. (UN Women)

Did you know that in the areas where we work, women are half as likely to be online as men?📱We're making sure women entrepreneurs get an equal chance to take part in the digital economy through #digital training & #mentorship ➡️hubs.li/Q02d-BVR0

Women do three times more unpaid care work than men. 🌍 Wwe work with communities to challenge deep-rooted ideas about what a ‘woman’s role’ should be – so men can take on more of the household chores and women can dedicate more time to their businesses hubs.li/Q02mwh5r0

Did you know that globally, women are less likely than men to have access to financial institutions or have a bank account? We work with women in extremely deprived areas to help them to overcome the barriers to financial inclusion 💜

Globally, it's estimated that micro, small, and medium-sized businesses owned by women globally are underfunded by USD 1.7 trillion. Closing the credit gap for women owned small and medium enterprises would result in a 12% increase in annual incomes on average by 2030. ♀️

So excited to be nominated for Best Small Employer at the #WFBestPracticeAwards 😁
