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.

In solidarity,

The Dekap Team
