Empower youth to become self-sufficient leaders by providing skill development, entrepreneurship, and vocational training
Let’s Empower Women Together
Women and girls are classified among the vulnerable group. Their vulnerability is caused by factors such as unequal access to education, high poverty rates, unpaid domestic work, and persistent gender stereotypes among others. Women face challenges of poverty which is attributed to factors such as lack of power, material resources, Illiteracy, traditions, and norms that hinder their development.
The norms and traditions in place are patriarchal in nature which gives more value to the male gender as compared to the female. When it comes to inheritance, oftentimes, properties are left out to males to the disadvantage of females. This stretches to HIV/AIDS-affected households as recent studies reveal that about 30 percent of widows and orphans are victims of this practice following the death of a spouse/parent.
We believe that young people have the power to make a change in their community. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to empower them and create a better future for East Africa.
