Mission

Jumpstart Switzerland is dedicated to improving the welfare of vulnerable women and children in rural Zambia. We promote sexual and reproductive health through projects in family planning, HIV prevention, gender equality, and gender based violence prevention and treatment. We foster economic self-sufficiency by providing women with micro-loans to give them a jumpstart in initiating their own income-generating projects, empowering them to care for their children as they know best. Jumpstart harnesses local initiative and builds community capacity by working with grassroots partner organizations in Zambia to develop local responses to their health-related, economic, and social needs.

 

Jumpstart is a non-profit, non-denominational organization of women investing in women, for the benefit of the community.
