Women and Girls’ Economic Empowerment: Her Initiative

At the heart of Lydia’s mission is Her Initiative, a young women-led non-profit organization she founded to reshape harmful norms and break the cycle of poverty for adolescent girls and young women. By integrating economic empowerment with digital tools, Lydia ensures girls and young women have access to the skills, capital, and confidence they need to generate income, lead in their communities, and claim their futures.
