Dear friends, family, and colleagues,

Across Sub-Saharan Africa, women own or run roughly a third of the region's 44 million small businesses, but they face a staggering CHF 42 billion funding gap compared to their male counterparts. This is not just unfair, it's a missed opportunity: women reinvest around 90% of their income into education, health, and their communities. When a woman's business grows, everyone around her benefits.

That's why Code Blossom , a Swiss non-profit providing free tech education to women & refugees in developing countries, is launching a new program in Kenya: Digital & AI Skills for Women Running Small Businesses.

With your donations, you can empower female entrepreneurs to professionalize and grow their businesses: from registering their company to using digital tools and AI, managing projects, mastering social media, and accessing funding. Our local sister organization, Code Blossom Kenya, ensures the program is rooted in the community and continues to have impact long after it ends.

Our final goal: CHF 22,500.

Yes, you read correctly: 225 CHF can transform one woman's business - and with it, her family's future and her community's economy. But truly, every single franc brings us closer. Whether you give CHF 20 or CHF 200, you are directly investing in a woman's ability to build a better life on her own terms.

‍♀️ As Marlene, a Code Blossom student from Namibia, puts it: "Code Blossom is more than an education program, it’s a place where people grow together. The support I’ve received continues to shape both my career and the way I approach life."

Please donate, and share this campaign with anyone who believes in the power of women.

If you donate at least CHF 225, you can get a donation receipt for tax exemption upon request.
