Goal 1: No Poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
14% of women report earning at least $1.90 a day
Target 1.1 eradicate extreme poverty (people living on less than $1.25 a day)
Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world. We specifically target the most marginalised women for our programme. We can see from this data that almost all of the women (even more than last year) who entered our programme in 2020 were living in poverty, and while by endline only 14% by endline report personal earnings over at least $1.90 a day, it is still a 367% which is very encouraging, especially in this fragile context they are living in.
Goal 1: No Poverty
End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
44% of women participants report saving a portion of their earnings
Target 1.5: By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters.
For the women we serve, our programme is the first time they are in control of an amount of their own money (through earnings or stipend). Our programme supports women to learn good savings habits and mechanisms for saving in order for women to move away from hand-to-mouth financial management.
This is especially important in Afghanistan where the majority of women are charged with household financial management (for example, buying food for their family) and are learning how to save even on an incredibly low income.
Goal 2: Zero Hunger
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
14% of women report earning at least $1.90 a day
Target 2.1 By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
Food security is a key indicator of wellbeing and decreasing poverty. Food security is not just about having access to enough food but also nutritious food. Nutrition is a key part of our training, supporting women and their family’s health and well-being.
Upon graduating from our year-long programme, 82% of women reported having sufficient food in the house in the last four weeks compared to 63% at enrolment. There was an overall 51% decrease, and overall an impressive improvement to women’s overall food security.
Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages.
61% of women participants report practising family planning
Target 3.7 By 2030, ensure access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including family planning, information and education.
61% of women on our programme in Afghanistan reported sometimes or frequently practising family planning at graduation compared to 46% at enrolment.
In conservative communities where we work women are denied influence over decision-making including over their own bodies. Women practicing family planning is a key indicator of women having more awareness and influence over their own bodies.
