Women Empowerment

OUR APPROACH

    In order to establish everlasting impacts, the organization uses a bottom-up approach that focuses on active and equal participation of individuals as a way of boosting the resiliency and independence of underserved persons at the grassroot as well as the involvement of Community members, Private sectors, National and international NGOs and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to collectively Participate in the move of Empowering Underserved Communities.

    Discriminatory attitudes remain a major barrier to the full inclusion of Women, Young mothers, Men and Youths (Girls and Boys). To ensure that the objectives are met, the organization focus on raising awareness on Gender disparities in the communities as a way to facilitate their inclusion and participation into developmental programs. We believe through collective efforts, we have all it takes to shape our societies and communities for everyone to live happily.
