Tuesdays: Your Week, Handled
Hire a trained assistant and get your inbox, your calendar, and your week back.
Our mission
To put earned income and real choices in a woman's own hands.
How it fits together
Different doors, one foundation
Whatever brought you here, you should be able to find what you came for without explaining yourself to anyone first.
So each program has its own name and its own front door. Behind them there is one foundation, which means when you are ready for something else, you are not starting over with strangers.
She Earns: The Woman's Income Project
Pick a lane
Free, certified training for women across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Finish a track and you earn a certificate in your name, a mentor, and a micro-grant to begin. Employers on Tuesdays can see what you have completed before they hire.
Your certificate is proof of what you can do, and it is yours to keep and to show anyone โ our marketplace, a local employer, a bank. You are eligible whatever your schooling, and the courses are written for the markets you actually sell in.
Steady Ground
Leaving is rarely the hard part. Staying gone is.
Most women who go back do it because there was no money on the other side of the door. Rent, childcare, a phone bill. From the outside it looks like a choice. It isn't one.
Steady Ground works on that gap. Peer support from women who have been where you are, practical tools for the first year, and help getting your own financial footing back โ your own account, your own credit, your own paycheque.
What Steady Ground offers
Tools and support for the part that comes after
Everything here is free, works on a phone, and does not ask you to tell your story to anyone before you get something useful.
Nobody Told Me
The things women find out afterwards
Not survival stories told for an audience. Practical, specific conversations about money, custody, shame, first jobs, and what actually helped โ with the women who lived them and the people who work alongside them.
Episode 01
What leaving actually costs
What it costs to leave, in real numbers, and where that money comes from.
Episode 02
Working while you are still afraid
Three women on taking their first paid work in the middle of everything else.
Episode 03
What helpers get wrong
A shelter director on the advice that pushes women back.
I kept meeting women who did everything right and still had nowhere to take it. The gap was never ability. It was access, and usually it was money.Emma Briggs, founder
Where the work happens
Tuesdays: Your Week, Handled
Named for the day you get your week back. Hand off your inbox, your calendar, your data entry, your social media. Every assistant holds certificates you can see on her profile and has been vetted before you ever meet her, and she keeps the large majority of what you pay.
You are not making a donation. You are hiring someone good, at a fair rate, who happens to have come through our training. Tuesdays charges a commission and runs as a business alongside the foundation rather than inside it.

Where we actually are
A new foundation, an older program
Fifty dollars is the distance between finished and started
That is what a micro-grant costs: the stock for a first shop, the phone credit for a first client, the deposit that means she does not have to go back. Monthly is what lets us promise it to someone.
