Our livelihoods program empowers women and youth, especially survivors of gender based violence to:
- Break the cycle of poverty and gender-based violence
- Build secure futures
- Boost the overall growth and prosperity of their communities
We strengthen and empower communities by providing these vital services in the livelihoods program:
- Skills Training: Equipping women and youth with practical skills in tailoring, hairdressing, mat making, crocheting, bead making, and henna drawing.
- Financial Literacy: Providing workshops to help women and youth manage their finances confidently and effectively.
- Access to Resources: Upon completion of the livelihoods program, we support the journey towards economic resilience by providing business starter kits, connection to microloans providers, and connection to markets locally and abroad. Click here to view the shop.
