Women Education Assistant

The  aim of this program is to empower the women with income-generating projects, offer education and skills training in various projects they are doing like  SMEs, tailoring, craft making and poultry project through offering training and hands on experience  practice with the vulnerable women groups in local communities.

Most women do handicrafts including weaving baskets, tailoring and crafts and the products they make are sold for income that helps them provide for their families.  

Some other women are engaged in poultry project as a group and making income through the project.

Volunteers will come and join them in hands on experience and sharing practical knowledge and ideas on record keeping and marketing the business.

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