We provide essential tools and training, focusing on women, fostering self-sufficiency and economic independence. Through our initiatives, we enable women to build a better future for themselves and their communities.
Market Systems Development
We are experts in developing and implementing first in-country value chains supported by regional and export market integration. We play a pivotal role in ensuring fragile economies have a pathway to prosperity and resilience.
Our Pillars
Women's
Economic Empowerment
Empowering women economically extends beyond individual success; it serves as a catalyst driving the progress of entire generations. Women that have financial autonomy invest in their families and communities creating a compounding impact of prosperity and equality.
Environmental
Conservation
Protecting biodiversity and sustainably managing natural resources is essential to ensuring the well-being of present and future generations. Biodiversity is the foundation of our planet’s ecosystems, which provide us with the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.
Peace
Building
Empowering individuals with purpose and income-generating opportunities reduces a communities inclination towards violence. Creating a strong economic foundation allows for peace and resilience to thrive, reducing dependency on international aid.

The Chambers Federation is a Michigan-based, mission-driven, award-winning, investment and advisory firm implementing a blend of public, private, and philanthropic investment in high-risk environments.
Chambers Federation started its work in 2013 in Goma while still under rebel occupation. After formalizing a collaboration agreement with USAID in 2017, the Kivu region serves as the starting point for most of Chambers Federation’s regional agricultural and mining related training and manufacturing programs.
Our first boots on the ground in 2007, a branch office was formally opened in 2012 to serve as the African headquarters for the Chambers Federation. Kenya serves as the base for all project implementation, marketing, and administration. Kenya also serves as the centralized manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution hub for all Chambers Federation EA beneficiaries.
Program development began in 2020 with the Chambers Federation implementing a new agriculture and mining program redesigned to the unique challenges of the Choco and Antioquia regions.
Program development began at the end of 2022 with the Chambers Federation laying foundations to expand its investment footprint focusing on the VRAEM and Madre de Dios regions of Peru.
Starting in 2008, while exploring opportunities in the mining (ASGM) sector, the Chambers Federation began its focus in the cocoa sector after discovering how the two sectors tie into rural communities' resilience, peace, and prosperity.
Starting in 2004, the Chambers Federation opened an office in the northern Luzon region of the Philippines to provide support services to the main US office. This is also where the Chambers Federation began focusing its passion to invest in women.
