06Programme

Economic Empowerment Program:

We believe that economic independence is key to building stronger communities. Through our economic empowerment initiatives, we equip women and young people with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to improve their livelihoods. This is achieved through community-based training such as financial literacy training/programs, and entrepreneurial training, along with support for small-scale entrepreneurship, all aimed at fostering economic independence and resilience.

Additionally, we use other approaches such as policy influencing, addressing cultural barriers, and leadership training to strengthen the results produced by our economic empowerment initiatives and achieve greater impact.
