We believe that gender inequity is a biblical and social injustice because all people, both women and men, are created in the image of God and he intends for everyone to live with dignity. CBM’s gender-based programs around the world help women gain critical access to education, skills training, financial assistance and social support. These programs enable women to have choices that lead to a better future, one in which their skills and gifts can be fully utilized for the benefit of the whole society.
Join us by adding your voice to the She Matters campaign. Help us tell the world that the lives of women are valued by God and by us. Together, we can strengthen the voices of marginalized women who need to be heard by being catalysts for change.

Community-based Women’s Finance Group
Cause file: Poverty | TD3215
In Libas, an urban poor community in Roxas City, many women work hard to support their families yet remain trapped in cycles of debt driven by informal lenders and high-interest loans. These systems leave households vulnerable and make it difficult for women to build stable livelihoods or plan for the future.
Through this project, women form a community-managed savings and credit association that they own and govern themselves. With guidance from Kabuganaan Philippines Ministries, participants establish shared rules, build collective capital, and develop practical skills in saving, lending, and financial record-keeping. This locally rooted approach strengthens trust, restores dignity, and creates pathways toward financial stability shaped by the women and sustained within their own community.
Your gift helps provide:
- Community-led savings and credit groups
- Financial literacy and record-keeping skills
- Women-led livelihood development and mutual support
