This project is aimed at helping 250 women of Imeko attain economic independence. Until now, an average woman of this own rely on the husband for virtually all responsibilities of home up-keeping. The idea of a single unpredictable income translates into increased poverty and lack. This situation. too, means the woman suffering nil or low esteem. It is therefore, our opinion that these women be supported with ideas of a second income to complement that of the husband earning below $5 a week.
Things are even getting worse now, the women now have nobody to rely on, no job for the husbands, no hopes, just like many with dimmed hopes all of our nation, our women have no definition for beloging to a nation that cared less of their existence.
To women, sleeping and waking up is just a routine of surviving to see another day. Hopes have faded. The children have no food, clothes, not to talk about going to school.
Please, let us work together to empower this women to have self esteem, eradicate poverty, malnutrition and also sufering from abuse. We want women to be part of a wider community development and useful in making quality contribution to community development.
We are appealing to all donors to partner with us so that together we can empower Imeko women by lifting hands and raising their hopes.
Many thanks for all your support.
