As promised in our last report, we've finally completed the search fand preparation of a new team of 26 women who have been formed with our contents and gained abilities for entrepreneurship in hard times.
Our effort began at the end of June and the learning process went through the end of July, completing all the sessions addressed to an initial group of 35 who was adjusted to the final 26 women who attended to all the classes. This program has been taught in alliance with CANIA, a center supported by one of the major food companies' group which provides feeding to low income children and their mothers for them to recover their basic nutrition conditions and health. These children and their mothers attend the center on a daily basis along various weeks. While these kids are been nurtured, their mothers receive classes and preparation not only on nutrition guidance and fundamentals, but are also formed with knowledge and abilities to apply for a decent job or initiate their self develop work initiatite which allow them to overcome the dramatic crisis the country is going through.
As per this alliance, our program "Women entrepreneur" is taught to the women once they finish their preparation for work as our means for them to initiate their own small business. Our experience with this group has been amazing reaching 26 women who have all recognized that their lives were one before and other different after receiving our program contents.They have referred how this learning experience has changed their expectations and way of thinking about job preparation and entrepreneurship.
Thanks to the tools and inspiration received all them presented their initiatives projects to the a dozen of volunteers from the Economics and Administration faculties of recognized universities, who served as facilitators to provide the knowledge along 12 weeks continuous weeks. After the program closing and results measurements, the allied organization has contacted us to continue with our alliance, while has asked for possibilities to implement other financial educaiton programs to round preparation their beneficiaries are receiving while their kids are fed.
Plans are to continue after the center operations are relaunched , approximately the end of september, with the almost $290 of the second quarter received in August.
Thanks to all our donors this program continuoues to impact more women lives, benefiting theirs and their families quality of life.
