THROUGH A TWO-YEAR PROCESS OF SEQUENCED INTERVENTIONS - INCLUDING A CASH TRANSFER TO START A SMALL BUSINESS, FINANCIAL AND LIFE SKILLS TRAINING, MENTORING, AND A SAVINGS PROGRAM - REAP HELPS THE POOREST AND MOST VULNERABLE WOMEN ESTABLISH SAVINGS TO BUILD THEIR RESILIENCE TO SHOCKS AND LIFT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF EXTREME POVERTY. ON AVERAGE, 96% OF WOMEN "GRADUATE" FROM EXTREME POVERTY BASED ON BOMA'S STRICT CRITERIA, MEANING THEY HAVE FOOD FOR THEIR CHILDREN, DIVERSIFIED INCOME AND SAVINGS, AND THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR LIFE-CHANGING RESOURCES LIKE EDUCATION AND MEDICAL CARE.
