In the Chongwe annual report, 80% of women said they cannot afford to go to school even when they wanted because day time they are involved in household chores and they have no money. In addition, report showed that cultural beliefs on the role of a woman could thwart participation in economics activities more so that policies to support their participation are weak.

An empower one and one will empower three should prove successful because historically women are more likely to empower others than men. In addition, there is record of most local organizations willing to partner with women groups as a way of increasing their social capital.
