Advocacy & Policy
Advocacy & Policy Program
Sustainable change requires addressing root causes at the systemic level. Our advocacy and policy program works to influence government policies, improve infrastructure, and ensure that the voices of vulnerable communities are heard in decision-making processes that affect their lives.
We collaborate with government agencies, NGOs, community leaders, and international partners to advocate for policies that address poverty, improve access to basic services, and protect the rights of single mothers and children. Our evidence-based approach combines research, community engagement, and strategic partnerships to drive meaningful policy changes.

Advocacy is about amplifying voices that are often unheard. By working at the policy level, we can create systemic changes that benefit entire communities, ensuring that the solutions to poverty and inequality are sustainable and scalable.
We conduct research and analysis to identify policy gaps and advocate for evidence-based solutions. Our policy briefs, position papers, and stakeholder engagements influence decision-makers to prioritize the needs of vulnerable communities.
