Challenge

In low-income areas, girls often leave school due to poverty, lack of skills, and early marriage. With no means to earn income, they remain dependent and vulnerable. Many survive on irregular or poorly paid jobs. Without training or tools to work, these girls have no pathway to stable income, making it hard to break free from the cycle of poverty and support themselves or their families.

Solution

The project will train 150 girls in baking and catering, teach food safety, and guide them in basic business practices. Graduates will receive startup kits with essential tools and ingredients to begin earning immediately. The training will be hands-on, with experienced instructors providing practical skills. With market-ready abilities, the girls can start home-based or small-scale bakery businesses.

Long-Term Impact

Graduates will have skills to earn consistent income, support their education, and contribute to household needs. They can grow their businesses, employ others, and pass on skills within their communities. In subsequent time, the project can inspire more girls to learn income-generating trades, creating a network of skilled young women who are financially independent and less vulnerable to poverty-related risks.
