Mission Statement

iZōsh is a group of women dedicated to the economic empowerment of women globally who are living in extreme poverty. By giving micro loans to these women we help them to lift themselves out of extreme poverty and reduce the risk of oppression and exploitation in their lives.

Vision Statement

Motivated by our Christian faith to be compassionate and to do justice, women from Huron Hills Church formed iZōsh.

Our vision is:

• To seek first to understand and to not judge;
• To prayerfully pool our resources to invest globally in women living in extreme poverty, regardless of their faith or beliefs;
• To honor the dignity of each woman by empowering her through sustainable personal economic development; and
• To invite and welcome other women, regardless of their faith or beliefs, whose goals align with our mission to learn about women’s issues in extreme poverty and then to empower the women living in extreme poverty to transform their lives through entrepreneurial activities.
