Driving human progress through social enterprise

Strengthen Her: Mobilizing Ventures for Social Innovation (SHE-MOVES) is a catalytic global partnership between Global Water Challenge, Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company Fund.

By combining philanthropic and social enterprise incubation models, the program creates sustainable change by uplifting women-led social enterprises through mobility.

Placing women at the center of development to inspire long-term change

A UN SDG aligned program, SHE-MOVES promotes female-led entrepreneurship and improves women and youth mobility by:

  • Backing women-focused community ventures and social enterprises
  • Providing “Whole-Person Leadership” to promote better health, develop critical skills and inspire activation of ideas
  • Supporting child/maternal health, education and disability support services

SHE-MOVES drives progress on multiple SDGs:

Empowering women by improving access to mobility and social enterprise in India, Nigeria and South Africa.
