STRONGER WOMEN, STRONGER NATIONS PROGRAMME

OUR STRONGER WOMEN, STRONGER NATIONS PROGRAMME EQUIPS WOMEN TO EARN MONEY, REGAIN THEIR CONFIDENCE AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES

Our Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme builds women’s capabilities in four key areas: earning and savings; rights and decision-making; health and wellness; and fostering support networks. Women receive hands-on vocational training in a variety of sectors and are supported to start small businesses,

build networks, and to take on leadership roles in their communities.

During one of our tailoring classes, Women for Women International announced that they would rent a shop for one participant, and I couldn’t believe when I heard that I was the one who was selected. Women for Women International rented the shop for me and paid the rent for two years. They also supported me by providing me with other participants’ products to sell.
