Decent Work and Economic Growth

Creating Jobs, Strengthening Livelihood

Jaress AgFinance helps create sustainable employment opportunities by supporting women farmers, agribusinesses, and women-led SMEs with the resources they need to grow and succeed.

By improving access to finance, training, markets, and productive resources, we help individuals and communities generate income, create jobs, and build stronger local economies.

Women in rural communities face challenges such as: limited access to business financing, high unemployment and under employment, limited access to market, seasonal income stability, limited entrepreneurial support, vulnerability to economic shocks. These challenges reduce economic opportunities and slow economic development
