Women Empowerment

Collaborate with people in one mission for the best future.

Women Empowerment

Women from disadvantaged backgrounds are society’s most vulnerable. Some of them lack education because no one was willing to fund their education. They are often used by families to help in the upkeep of the house with no future prospects. The children are at risk of being left with relatives, or in orphanages, or destitute due to illness, death, or poverty. Through income generation and peer education, we give relief by helping to establish the mother of these children in a trade they are comfortable with, mostly selling and engage them in training, so they are able to cater for their children. We help the women to break the poverty cycle and become independent. Their dignity and self-confidence are then restored.

  • How It Works

    We will identify a woman at-risk and help her start up a micro-business. We will provide training in areas of book-keeping, business ethics, and savings plan once the business has taken off. We monitor the progress of the business till we are assured the woman can cope. Through this process, she is encouraged as a Peer Educator or Advocate for Change, and she is then able to encourage other women and share her experiences.
