Whether it’s providing electric vehicles to women who otherwise have to walk massive distances to provide for their families, or increasing access to safe and adequate drinking water for rural communities, PIDG has a number of investments that directly impact and improve the lives of women.

Across Africa and Asia, PIDG doesn’t just consider how women are impacted by its projects, it also strives to empower them.

In this International Women’s Day special edition of the podcast, hear about a number of projects that are impacting women on the ground, including Mobility for Africa, the KUDURA mini grid project in Kenya, and the Cambodia water portfolio. Hear from two of the women riding Mobility for Africa’s electric tricycles, or Hambas, as they explain how their lives have been benefited by the vehicles. And learn more about what it truly means to involve women in projects and investment decisions.
