Made by Women
This project, officially titled “Designed by Women for Women,” introduces a nutrient-rich fish powder to address critical nutrition and livelihood challenges in Bolivia. The innovation is entirely women-driven: the product is designed, produced, and marketed by women, for women. By up-cycling an underutilized native fish species that is virtually free to produce, women entrepreneurs are creating a new, affordable food supplement that directly benefits the health of women and children while building economic independence. This is more than a product; it’s a women-led value chain that fosters leadership and a healthier future.
Fish For Life
Fish for Life II
“Fish for Life II” is a development program aimed at improving food security and reducing poverty among women, children, and Indigenous families in Bolivia’s Amazon region by strengthening the fishing and aquaculture sectors. Recognizing the nutritional importance of fish and the challenges these sectors face, the program promotes sustainable practices, women-led small-scale aquaculture, improved fish marketing, and access to financial tools. Through applied research, technical training, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, it seeks to build a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable fisheries sector that enhances livelihoods and contributes to national food sovereignty.
Fish for Life: Empowerment and Sustainability
“Fish for Life: Empowerment and Sustainability” is a transformative project aimed at advancing aquaculture in Bolivia by providing technical training to women and men in rural communities, fostering their empowerment and leadership. With comprehensive education and adoption of sustainable practices, the initiative seeks to strengthen food security, boost local economies, and protect the environment. A collaborative approach supported by national and international institutions, the project has helped build a more equitable and resilient value chain, positioning aquaculture as a tool for sustainable development and long-term community well-being.
Improving WASH for Healthcare Facilities and Women’s Health: Testing the STREAMS Approach in Malawi
“Improving WASH for Healthcare Facilities and Women’s Health” is a 15-month project implemented in Malawi by Royal Roads University and Transform International (Canada), aimed at enhancing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in healthcare facilities, with a strong focus on women’s health. Recognizing that women are the primary users of these facilities—especially during childbirth and postpartum care—the initiative tested the STREAMS approach, which integrates systems strengthening, training, education, and monitoring support. By combining WASH best practices with the deployment of two circuit riders, the project worked to ensure the implementation, maintenance, and long-term sustainability of improved WASH infrastructure and behaviors, contributing to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) through a gender-transformative lens.
