Our Vision

Building a better world for Women through Co-operatives.

Our Mission

To raise Women’s participation in Co-operatives to an unprecedented level around the world 

ABOUT SHE-COOPS

She-Coops is a Self-Help movement aimed at raising Women’s active participation in Co-operatives around the world. The movement originated in 2018 by No Woman Left Out Initiative, Africa and is a registered trademark that have grown into a global feminist, membership, movement promoted by some of the most influential Women in Co-operatives and Gender Equality.  Its overall goal is to raise Women’s participation in Co-operatives to a whole new level and pursue opportunities to improve their livelihood and gain influence over what matters to them. It has since birthed more than 10,000 Women Co-operative groups across nations and envisioned as the largest economic and social (self-help) movement for Women. 

HOW SHE-COOPS WORKS

She-Coops works through creation of Shared Interest or Common Ownership models/forms of Societies made up of exclusively Women. Each Society is made up of a minimum of 20 and maximum of 200,000 Women who come together for a common cause to raise and manage resources for the benefit of their lives both economically, socially and for the welfare of their families…

WHY SHE-COOPS?

Globally, Women remain widely under-represented and suffer a disproportionately low representation in Co-operatives constituting fewer than 25% of its entire movement; a situation which private sector studies reveal has refused to change due to gender norms on the traditional role of Women and other instilled cultural practices. Joining a Co-operative offers a means of exercising voice and accessing leadership that would otherwise not be open to Women…
