Empowering Women. Creating Opportunities. Breaking Barriers.

We equip, empower and uplift women and girls across Africa through education, skills, opportunity and community support.

Our Story

Love Was the Beginning. Transformation Is Our Mandate

In 2014, our journey began at the grassroots with a food outreach to vulnerable people and girls living in extremely difficult circumstances.

Immediate support can meet a need today. Access and opportunity can change what is possible tomorrow.

InnovatHER STEAM Virtual Bootcamp

My experience with the InnovatHER STEAM Virtual Bootcamp has been really amazing. I gained new knowledge and skills that have helped me understand STEAM better, and I became more confident and started seeing more possibilities for myself and my future.

InnovatHER Robotics Workshop

I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I am usually shy, but I knew this was an opportunity to grow. I also learned basic coding commands in the robotics session and how to test and debug a simple program.

InnovatHER Robotics Workshop

I learned that self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence. In robotics, I learned how to follow technical instructions and collaborate with my group members.

Dennis Olekwo ComfortSS1 student, GDSS Kulende

InnovatHER Robotics Workshop

By the end of the day, the shy ones were asking questions freely, and the ones who usually dominate conversation were actually listening to their teammates. That tells me the workshop didn’t just teach them, it unlocked something.

Societal Barriers

Talent Is Everywhere. Access Is Not.

Millions of women across Africa have the talent, ambition and potential to build better lives, businesses and communities, but lack the access needed to turn that potential into opportunity.
Love for Change Women Foundation Exists to Bridge That Gap. Access Unlocks Opportunity.

Transforming Lives, One Woman at a Time.

This is how we end intergenerational poverty: by giving women access. We are driven by love and the mandate to empower more and more women with the skills and opportunities they need to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
