Creating Space for Women’s Voices

WEZ believes rural women must be part of the decisions that affect their land, livelihoods, bodies, and communities.

Women Empowerment at Our Core

At Women Environs Zambia, numbers help us show the reach of our work, but they do not tell the whole story. Behind every woman trained, seed shared, tree planted, or product sold is a rural woman strengthening her household, protecting local knowledge, and contributing to a more resilient community.
Our work brings together agroecology, local seed systems, climate justice, feminist leadership, clean energy, and women’s economic empowerment because these issues are deeply connected in the lives of rural women.

Advocacy & Leadership

  • 306 women reached through feminist leadership and rights based learning spaces.
  • 52 community dialogues, learning circles, and exchange meetings held.
  • 30 local leaders, extension officers, and duty bearers engaged in discussions affecting rural women’s lives.

Saving the environment

  • 60 women farmers trained in indigenous vegetable gardening and clean cooking through the Clean Cooking for Sustained Ecosystem Project.
  • 8 communities reached through clean energy and climate justice dialogues.
  • 1024 trees planted, nurtured, or protected through community environmental action.
Our Impact Goal

Rooted in Rural Women’s Leadership

WEZ works with rural women farmers, women’s groups, youth, community leaders, and local extension officers across Zambia. Through learning spaces, practical training, community dialogues, and collective action, women are supported not only as beneficiaries, but as leaders, seed custodians, producers, advocates, and decision makers.
