Women Education Assistant

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 have a background in finance or small business projects (SMEs) are perfectly suited to assist on this project.

As a volunteer, is 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. Volunteer can also help with childcare-related tasks, as some women bring their children to the training 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.
