The Zariya Project

Zariya means the path to light and help. Our goal is to build the capacity for people to escape poverty by encouraging entrepreneurship within low-income households, especially among women. We hope these entrepreneurial ventures bring with them employment creation and a sense of independence for all those involved.Zariya focuses on identifying local women entrepreneurs and leveraging their business ideas to improve their lives and increase their standard of living. Who better to be classified as entrepreneurs than these women who make ends meet everyday despite the scarcity of resources? Zariya hopes to build a self-sustaining ecosystem of business upscaling and networking among women in business. The Zariya Project aims to empower Entrepreneurial Women by assisting them in their business endeavours.
