Siga Women Foundation is engaged in our work because the women we work with have expressed their readiness to make the change in their lives and that of their children, as well as their community. They are already harnessing their collective power to generate this positive change. As we seek to continuously improve, we always listen to the women of our communities, who not only want to diversify and expand their livelihoods, but too who want to positively impact their communities with improved health and safety, as well as greater environmental conservation.
"Inherent to systems change is the recognition that scalable, sustainable change for all people and the planet happens through an interconnected, organized, flexible approach involving multiple participants. Change cannot occur when efforts exist in silos; sustainable change happens when we collaborate and work together as a highly functioning system."
