Support for women miners and women in mining communities: collective savings, economic initiatives and independence.
06
People. Projects. Possibilities.
Women miners, local entrepreneurs and savings-group members: CIFTAM recognises your activities and plans, connecting support in the mine with savings, enterprise and family life.
Village savings and loan associations, AVEC, can receive tailored support to understand commitments, organise records and prepare projects.
The Centre prioritises independence and participation, paying close attention to women’s choices and group governance.

A FULL PLACE
Do not leave women on the margins. Bring them to the centre.
Design pathways around availability, family responsibilities, livelihoods and the real conditions for accessing information.
Support should strengthen decision-making, not create new dependence.
PRIORITIES
Three areas of support.
01
Tailored financial education
Work on goals, daily management, group commitments and understanding risks.
02
Support for economic initiatives
Clarify a project, its needs, steps and the information required to prepare it.
03
Participation & follow-up
Create welcoming, information and complaint arrangements that give women a meaningful place in the pathway.
INDEPENDENCE · DIVERSIFICATION · PROTECTION
Beyond the mine, household resilience.
CIFTAM’s vision supports women beyond mining alone, making room for collective savings, small businesses and economic diversification.
Income-generating activities, agriculture and women’s leadership connect personal projects with local economic development.
The aim is to strengthen women’s economic security, household resilience and participation in community development.
