Lessen My Burden Foundation  believe that women, especially those who are uneducated and widowed, face unique challenges that prevent them from supporting themselves and their families. Discrimination, lack of access to resources, and harmful practices such as widow cleansing and forced marriage make it difficult for these women to thrive. That’s why we provide microgrants to support vulnerable women and help them start small-scale businesses selling fish, fruit, and vegetables. By empowering these women to become self-sufficient, we can lessen their burden and improve the well-being of their families and communities.

Lessen My Burden Foundation provides microgrants to support individuals looking to start small businesses. These grants can be used to cover startup costs, such as renting a space, buying equipment, and inventory. In addition to financial support, the foundation also offers business development support, small business resources access, networking opportunities, and mentorship to help new business owners get their ventures off the ground.
