Currently, the organization is working to assist 78 very poor women to engage in an income generating activities including the newly added one self-help, which contain 20 members in order to support school children in a better way.
The ongoing activities still focused on the three strategic objectives: poor family economic empowerment, education and health. We do believe our intervention brought a visible improvement in the lives of women. As our main interventions focused area, income generating activities, YBCO is working to make a visible difference by way of introducing a sustainable community owned projects through building self-esteem and strong partnership to its stakeholders.
Our truck record shows almost all organization activities are managed by volunteers, who are sharing the founder vision. In the meantime, we have a plan to reach many more using the limited organizational resources.
For the last three months the women empowerment intervention is underway.
We uses the Self-help group /SHG approach as a women empowerment model. We facilitate and lead the following activities with currently 78 women with in five groups. One group contains 13 to 17 members. In all their discussion, Yengat Birhan community facilitator is there to help them in their challenges.
