Our Programs
Women in Mining Kenya (WIM Kenya) implements four core programs that address the structural, economic, safety, and knowledge gaps affecting women in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM). These programs are designed to promote formalization, financial empowerment, land security, market access, and evidence-based decision-making across the gold value chain.
