Global Economic Empowerment
Through Local iZōsh Chapters

Single mother Bekelech (in white) and co-worker Birki (in purple) have built a fuel-efficient stove business in Wonchi, Ethiopia with the help of microloans. The income from selling more than 100 stoves a year has lifted Bekelech’s family out of poverty and made it possible for her children to return to school.

What is iZōsh® International?

Motivated by our Christian faith to be compassionate and to do justice, iZōsh International was formed after experiencing growth and joy in a single church ministry. Our mission is to help Christian churches replicate the ministry of iZōsh, Women investing in Women. iZōsh International will educate, inspire, and equip these iZōsh Chapters as part of a movement dedicated to the economic empowerment of women who are living in extreme poverty.

What is an iZōsh Chapter?

As part of iZōsh International’s movement, iZōsh Chapters are dedicated to the economic empowerment of women globally who are living in extreme poverty. By giving micro-loans to these women, iZōsh Chapters help them to lift themselves out of extreme poverty and reduce the risk of oppression and exploitation in their lives. iZōsh Chapters connect, learn, give, and celebrate the joy of empowering women.

What Others Are Saying About iZōsh…

“It was thrilling to be around so many curious and compassionate women who are truly making a difference. Thank you for not only seeking to understand these complex issues, but for your willingness to DO something about it. If only there were more groups like iZōsh!” Sophia Kruz
EMMY award winning documentary filmmaker

“I was absolutely overwhelmed by the commitment of the women of iZōsh to serve others who live in poverty. I was equally touched to see teenage girls sharing this passion alongside women in their 90’s. Caring for the poor connects us together in so many powerful ways, and to experience the excitement and determination of these American women who made it possible was priceless.”

Joan Mussa
Senior Vice Present, Director of Mobilization, World Vision

“It is impressive how the women of iZōsh lean in to learn about the hard truths of gender violence issues related to global poverty, such as child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation. It’s equally impressive how they use that knowledge to stimulate their advocacy and gracious financial giving in order to be part of the solution to lift women out of poverty.”
