Build Hope and Skills for Refugee Women, S. Africa

Thanks to the recent success of the opening of the Economic Empowerment Center, WWWA is able to further enhance the development of refugee women by providing income-generating and educational projects that will lead to an improved life-style.

 Far too often in Africa, refugee women and girls are tremendously altered by the wars and political conflicts in the continent; some even suffer from gender-specific and/or cultural forms of violence such as genital mutilation or forced marriage.  Fleeing their homes to seek solace and new opportunities in neighboring areas or countries, refugee women and girls become even more vulnerable, struggling to survive in a foreign area stripped of all support systems.

 At the Economic Empowerment Center, WWWA mobilizes refugee women and children to engage in social and economic empowerment activities that will lift them out of poverty and enable them to live in dignity and peace, free from violence and discrimination.

 With just a small donation you will be supporting The Economic Empowerment Center’s efforts to continue providing services such as technical garment-making and computer literacy workshops; health education, counseling and childcare support; job skills and leadership trainings; and employment services.

 Not only will your contributions give women and children hope, but it will also help showcase their development in their host communities, the continent, and in the world at large!
