Empowering economically excluded women and girls through microfinance, scholarships, and creative art Empowering underserved women and girls through microloans and scholarships. Transform a life at http://www.skicharities.org/. Founded in 2010, SKI Charities provides economic support to empower females in remote areas with little access to growth opportunities. SKIC operates in both Zimbabwe and Chile. The SKI Microfinance Institute (SKImfi) empowers economically excluded women through supporting local entrepreneurship. This mission is achieved by providing capital to female entrepreneurs, whom it helps to build foundations of strength and self-sufficiency. The SKI Program for Girls' Opportunity (SKIpgo) is a scholarship program for girls who demonstrate motivation and promise. The SKIpgo team identifies committed families from low-income communities and works closely with them to maximize the educational potential of their daughters. SKIpgo currently operates in Zimbabwe.
