Women Education Assistant

The project

The  aim of this program is to empower the women with income-generating projects, education and skills training in various projects they are doing like  (traditional calabash), sewing, tailoring, craft making and jewelry-making through training and practice .

Most women are involved in making handicrafts including baskets, sewing, tailoring and jewelry, and the things they make are then sold for income that helps them provide for their families.  

Volunteers who enjoy arts and crafts or have a background in managing finances or small business projects are perfectly suited to assist on this project.

As a volunteer, you’re encouraged to create training material on topics such as managing​ finances, vocational skills and building self-esteem to ensure future generations can continue to receive support and training. You can also help with childcare-related tasks, as some women bring their children to the center.

The women also need to have access to finance and small business management skills which will enable them to start enhance own craft-making or tailoring businesses to generate an income and provide for their families.

Volunteer work

 The volunteer you will work closely with local women self help groups within the local community and help to support some of the  disadvantaged women affected by poverty  in providing fund raising ideas,business skills and leadership guidance.

If you have skills in arts and craft-making and an interest in supporting women to become self-sufficient, this project will be a good fit for you.

As a volunteer, you will assist in a range of areas, including counseling some women, skill-training and campaign/education development of the vulnerable communities.

While volunteering with us , volunteers may also have the opportunity to help on outreach work within the wider local communities.The women empowerment projects provide volunteers with opportunities to reduce social inequalities and help to tackle women rights by increasing access to education to the local community.

The women empowerment program has education focus which will increase and improve women projects.

Many women living in the communities we support face a wide range of challenges like market and capital to improve thier opportunities and change thier projects.

The volunteer work will contribute to the long-term goal of assisting social change and creating an inclusive society in which women have equal rights and are able to access education, healthcare and employment opportunities.

Volunteer work can also include empowering women through building confidence, developing financial independence, fostering entrepreneurship skills, and growing strong female leadership - all to support stronger, happier communities.

You can also expect to learn from a cross-cultural exchange, as you and your host community, will be challenged to engage with different cultures, ideas and perspectives.
