Our Partners

We Effect, formerly the Swedish Cooperative Centre, is a development cooperation organization focused on reducing poverty, ensuring sustainable income, and improving food security.

They partner with the Lower Eastern Women Cooperative Union (LEWOCO) to empower communities, particularly women, in marginalized regions. This collaboration aims to create lasting change by addressing poverty, promoting income sustainability, and enhancing food security.

We Effect's global presence extends its impact beyond this partnership, reinforcing its commitment to fighting poverty on a global scale.
