I faced unimaginable hardship after my children's father walked out of my life because of my visual impairment. Today, I thank God for DEKAP Liberia. DEKAP Liberia rescued me and my children. We can sell and eat.

Being physically challenged made finding any kind of work incredibly difficult. DEKAP Liberia trained me in small business entrepreneurship. DEKAP Liberia taught me how to actually run a business, how to manage money, and how to market my goods, and then DEKAP Liberia gave me a small grant to get started. As a result of the support from DEKAP Liberia, I was able to set up a small business.

My life changed when I lost my husband. Imagine having eight children, all depending on me, in a small village where school was a dream, not a reality. I started selling sweet bars—anything to make a little money—and then, a miracle happened. My son was selling and met Mrs. Wenneh from DEKAP Liberia. Now, three of my children are in school. They have uniforms, shoes, notebooks, backpacks—everything!

Spotlight Initiative: Sourcing Support for Digital Mobile Entrepreneurship for Marginalized Women in Montserrado County
Dear Partners and Supporters,
We’re excited to share one of our newest grassroots initiatives under the Dekap Women Empowerment Pillar. This project aims to uplift some of Liberia’s most marginalized women—those living with disabilities and vulnerable non-disabled women—through digital mobile entrepreneurship.
The Challenge
In Montserrado County, women with disabilities and vulnerable women continue to face deep economic exclusion. Many have no access to digital tools, marketable skills, or inclusive financial services. These barriers trap them in poverty and leave their potential untapped.
Despite their resilience, most of these women are isolated from Liberia’s growing digital and mobile economy. For them, empowerment is not just about income—it’s about dignity, independence, and inclusion.
Our Vision
Through this initiative, we plan to reach and empower 40 marginalized women—25 women with disabilities and 15 vulnerable non-disabled women—by providing:
Interviews & Community Listening: Understanding their lived experiences, dreams, and barriers.
Digital & Entrepreneurial Training: Skills in mobile business, online marketing, mobile money, and financial management.
Linkage to Inclusive Savings: Connection to our Inclusive Savings and Loan Club for access to capital and financial literacy support.
Where We Are Now
We are currently in the planning and outreach phase of this initiative and are actively sourcing support from donors, partners, and allies who believe in grassroots, inclusive development.
Your support—financial, technical, or in-kind—can help us turn this vision into a life-changing reality for women who have been overlooked for too long.
The Potential Impact:
Digital and financial inclusion for marginalized women
Women-led income-generating ventures
Community empowerment and poverty reduction
Greater independence and leadership among women with disabilities
How You Can Help
We invite individuals, donors, and organizations to partner with us in any of the following ways:
Fund or co-sponsor the program
Donate smartphones or training materials
Volunteer your skills or mentor a participant
Help us spread the word
Let’s Build an Inclusive Future Together
At Dekap, we believe real change begins at the grassroots. Let’s ensure that every woman—regardless of disability or circumstance—has a chance to thrive in the digital economy.
