of climate change. Erratic rainfall, prolonged droughts, and land degradation are destroying their livelihoods, intensifying their workload, and fueling competition over scarce resources, thereby pushing families deeper into poverty and vulnerability.
Deep-rooted poverty, cultural norms, and gendered responsibilities systematically exclude girls from education. High dropout rates, particularly after puberty, and a lack of quality Early Childhood Development (ECD) services create a cycle of illiteracy and disempowerment that limits their life choices from the very start.
Pervasive gender inequality and disrupted social structures have normalized Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and child abuse. Weak formal protection systems, impunity for perpetrators, and harmful cultural practices leave women and girls in a constant state of insecurity and without access to justice or recovery services.
Women are excluded from formal peace processes, despite being uniquely affected by conflict and violent extremism. Competition over dwindling natural resources drives local conflict, and without women's participation, solutions are neither inclusive nor sustainable.
Our program teams work collaboratively to design interventions that address multiple needs simultaneously.
Empowering women, girls, and youth to transform communities through advocacy, peacebuilding, education, and sustainable livelihoods.

We Do What We Say. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standard, ensuring transparency and accountability in all our actions. Our communities trust us because we are honest, reliable, and committed to using resources responsibly for the greatest impact.
We Elevate Every Voice. Our commitment is to create environments where all women, youth, and marginalized groups are heard, valued, and empowered to participate actively. We believe that sustainable change can only occur when everyone has a seat at the table in governance, peace processes, and economic development.
We Are Stronger Together (Umoja). We achieve more by collaborating—with communities, with each other, and with partners. We foster a culture of mutual respect, shared learning, and collective action, knowing that our shared goals in protection, health, and livelihoods are interconnected.
We Grow from Our Strengths. Our solutions are deeply embedded in local context and wisdom. We invest in long-term capacities, champion the innate strength of women, and build community-owned systems that can withstand shocks and thrive for generations to come.

We cultivate brave solutions. To tackle complex challenges, we take a proactive and innovative approach. We embrace new ideas, utilize local expertise and technology, and adjust our strategies in peacebuilding, climate resilience, and economic empowerment to promote a sustainable future.
These are the non-negotiable beliefs and ethical standards that guide all our actions and decisions.
We actively challenge patriarchal power structures and are committed to centering the voices, agency, and leadership of women and girls in all their diversity. We practice what we preach through our own women-led governance.
We embody "I am because we are." Our programs are co-designed and driven by the community. We work with, not for, communities, respecting local knowledge and fostering collective ownership and responsibility.
We hold the safety and dignity of those we serve as our highest priority. We have robust safeguarding policies to protect beneficiaries, especially women and children, from any form of exploitation, abuse, or harm caused by our staff or operations.
We maintain the highest levels of transparency and accountability—to our beneficiaries, donors, staff, and partners. We are responsible stewards of resources and are answerable for our impact.
We recognize that women and girls experience discrimination and vulnerability in layered ways based on factors like age, disability, ethnicity, and class. Our programs are designed to address these overlapping identities and ensure no one is left behind.
SEA combines humanitarian response with long-term development approaches to ensure that women, girls, and vulnerable communities have equal opportunities to thrive. Through partnerships with community leaders, government institutions, and grassroots movements, SEA creates pathways for empowerment, dignity, and sustainable change
