Lauren Hendricks, President and CEO of Trickle Up, joins Brooke Dunefsky on the Charity Talks podcast to discuss the transformative impact of the “Graduation Approach” in creating economic opportunities for women in extreme poverty.
Indigenous women who hail from our project areas in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico, support Trickle Up in facilitating projects and connecting with target communities across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This region is known for having some of the highest levels of poverty in Mexico, and Trickle Up works closely with community leaders to best deliver programs that maximize impact and sustainable solutions.
Indigenous women from Trickle Up’s savings groups in Chiapas discuss how they feel, what they anticipate with saving and building their businesses, and their hopes for the future.
