Financial literacy campaigns
Accessible workshops on budgeting, saving, debt, and business basics tailored to local realities.
What we do
Practical programs built for impact.
We support women-owned businesses, deliver financial education across ASEAN countries, and scale remotely through trusted partners.
Banking intermediary support
Guidance that builds confidence to engage with banks and microfinance partners.
Volunteer recruitment & local delivery
Local volunteer networks mentor participants and deliver content with community partners.
Why ARISE
Bridging the gap between access and understanding.
Financial services exist, but many women still lack confidence, guidance, and community support. ARISE focuses on skills and access that stick.
- Built on research and community-led insights
- Designed for remote, scalable delivery through partners
- Rooted in real pilot outcomes across Asia

Impact story
Megha from Khapri village in Maharashtra wanted to start a small business after her husband’s death. She had the drive, but not the financial knowledge, access, or digital confidence. ARISE exists so women like Megha can build independence through skills, community support, and access to banking tools.
How we measure
We use participant feedback, pre- and post-workshop surveys, and partner reporting to measure confidence, skills, and access outcomes.
Targets & direction
- Goal: at least 70 women impacted per country by Dec 31.
- Goal: grow a volunteer network toward 300+ volunteers.
