We are thrilled to highlight the launch of Women&Co in Egypt! This innovation platform marks a bold new chapter for Pathfinder, driving next-generation, women-led solutions at the vital intersection of health, climate resilience, and economic power.

In Egypt, Women&Co is advancing inclusive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) transformation—helping companies dismantle workplace barriers, promote financial inclusion, and actively recruit and retain women in safe, equitable environments.

Through workshops and consultations, private-sector partners, civil society organizations, and women from local communities worked directly with us to help shape the future of inclusive ESG service offerings, ensuring that solutions are practical, business-driven, and tailored to the specific needs of women and companies operating in Egypt.

In three regions of Burkina Faso, communities hosting internally displaced populations face increasing pressure on local health systems. Through Projet Sauver la Vie, Pathfinder, with support from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, partnered with local communities, universities, and government leaders to help address this challenge.

Together, we designed and constructed six climate-resilient green community health posts that bring essential primary health care services closer to the people who need them most.

These facilities are powered by solar energy and feature climate-smart designs that maximize natural light and ventilation, improve water and sanitation infrastructure, and create more comfortable spaces for both patients and providers.

What makes this initiative especially unique is the people behind it. Local architecture students helped design innovative, eco-friendly health post models adapted to Burkina Faso's climate realities, while communities contributed labor, materials, and local knowledge throughout the construction process.

This innovative partnership demonstrates how communities, universities, government partners, and development organizations can work together to strengthen health systems while building resilience to climate challenges.

Women&Co Kenya is live! We launched via an innovation lab where we co-designed with our new Women&Co community including health entrepreneurs, climate tech distributors, health innovators, impact investors, and government leaders—unpacking the state of women's entrepreneurship in Kenya and how we can make faster traction for women to build, own and scale enterprises that make life better for everyone around them. The ideas and contributions were extraordinary and will form the foundation of our strategy in Kenya.

We will share more in the coming weeks, but get in touch if you'd like to be involved.

Jordan’s growing green economy is creating new conversations around sustainability, innovation, and climate resilience—at the same time, it is also opening important pathways for women’s employment, leadership and entrepreneurship.

For many women, entering the workforce still comes with structural barriers: limited access to opportunities, mobility restrictions, caregiving responsibilities, and unequal professional networks. However, women across Jordan are increasingly stepping into emerging sectors tied to sustainability, cleantech, environmental innovation, and climate-smart entrepreneurship.

In this edition of our Country-Led in Action newsletter, Anna White, Regional Partnerships Officer and Project Lead, demonstrates how Pathfinder's Improving Leadership and Employability of Underserved Populations in Jordan project works with women and young people to build their skills and connect them to real, sustainable economic pathways.

Vincent Aseme Talasi, 42, is a father to six children. His wife, Mila Kunzulu, gave birth to their youngest just a week and a half ago. Meanwhile, their eldest is preparing to attend nursing school—15 kilometers away from their village in the K**a health zone of Kwilu Province, DRC.

Vincent was already feeling the financial strain from his first child’s tuition fees, and he had five more educations to budget for… in addition to providing clean water and sufficient food to his growing family every day. What would it be like to keep this up until his youngest was grown? In another five years, would this new baby still be his youngest child? Or would there be more siblings to follow?

One day, when Vincent attended a family planning awareness session in his village, something clicked.
