We Help Women Secure Their Land
LandBridge is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
Today, less than 20% of landholders worldwide are women.
LandBridge helps women worldwide overcome barriers to land ownership.
We work with local organizations to provide last-mile assistance to women.
By providing last-mile aid to help vulnerable women secure rights to their land, LandBridge empowers them to become landowners, increasing their families’ and their own economic security now and into the future.
To date, LandBridge has helped over 750 women secure legal documentation for their land. Learn more about our current projects in Iringa, Tanzania, Lusaka, Zambia, and Oyam District, Uganda.
Current Projects
The 2024 World Bank "Why Land and Property Rights Matter for Gender Equality" paper highlights that strengthening women’s rights to housing, land, and other physical property (known as “HLP”) has numerous positive impacts:
Greater bargaining and decision-making power of women;
reduced domestic violence;
increased consumption;
better child welfare; and
the ability to transition to off-farm labor and income.
Why We Focus On Women
Your donation directly impacts the lives of vulnerable women around the world.
On average, $100 provides one woman with secure legal documentation for her land. Recurring contributions help us consistently provide funds for women in need!

“With this support from LandBridge, we now can reach women who no longer had hope to get their land title.”
