If it weren’t for this support, I wouldn’t be here today...

AThese words from Guatemalan entrepreneur Mónica Machambaesa reflect the impact of the Women’s Empowerment for Central America (WE4CA) project, supported by Global Affairs Canada.
MEDA and partners shared early results last week, highlighting how women are gaining economic independence through training, community support, and new business opportunities. Stories from participants like Mónica and Marla Karina Chanta showed how these programs are helping families thrive and communities grow.
The project is a reminder of how partnership can change lives — and there’s more to come.
