Empowering Women with Vocational Skills Report

By C. Christian Zarweah | Project Leader

The project aims to close the social, economic, and livelihood gaps between men and women in rural Liberia. Rural women and girls in post-war and post-pandemic Liberia face multiple challenges including low standard of living, no means of income generation, extreme poverty, and low self-esteem thereby paving the way for consistent gender-based violence, discrimination, traditions, and practices against women and girls. The project will equip disabled and rural women and girls from low-income backgrounds with marketable vocational skills in tailoring, pastry, sewing country clothes, hairdressing, making soap, and small business management skills.

The project implementing organization, Give Them Hope, Inc. and the beneficiaries have begun providing local support as skills training is going on at a low scale until our funding goal at the GlobalGiving Platform is met. Kindly find attached some of our recent gatherings, meetings, and training. photos.
