In a small village outside Burgersfort on the Mpumalanga-Limpopo provincial border women are taking control of their lives. Early results from a unique pilot project are showing that once women are financially empowered, they can have better relations with their male partners. And with economic power comes a sense of optimism leading to better health decisions and reduced risk of contracting HIV.
