Women Empowerment

This new year finds us facing new challenges. 2018 was a difficult year in Argentina, and  we werent able to carry on the projects that we have planned. As an NGO we know that hard times, are the times for rethink what we have been doing and make new plans for a new and different context. 

These circumstances, gave us  the opportunity to reflect on the contents and tools that we have been using in the programs designed to work with women, and to create new alliances that hopefully will allow us to be able to work on the field again with social organizations that are run by women.

The economical crises that Argentina is facing made some of our partners to decide to wait until a new stable context is back. Although, the perspectives for this year are better and we are eager to translate the reflection work that we have  done, devoloping new dispositives and tools to better address the necessities of the vulnerable women that we work with.

We hopefully be sending good news soon, about the coming projects.

Many thanks for your support

We are happy to share news with you! 

The project that seeks to promote the personal development of women in situations of psychosocial vulnerability is still under evaluation. As we told you before, the objective of this project is to build vital / occupational projects by strengthening autonomy based on a methodological strategy: Occupational Training Project. It will be developed in the Community Center "El Gauchito" located in the city of Tigre in the Province of Buenos Aires.

"El Gauchito" is a place of contention for the women who attend, there they look for the tools to improve their situation, as well as that of their families.

With our project we want to optimize these tools.With the workshops we seek to intervene in the subjectivity of women through a deep understanding of their family context, personal history, previous work experience (formal and informal), personal self-perception, skills and attitudes, expectations and fears related to the beginning of a new life project, willingness to work as a team, adoption of proactive attitudes, responsibility for tasks, planning, division of work, leadership, results oriented to work, as well as dealing with issues such as domestic violence.Approximately 15 women will be the recipients, expecting an impact on 60 people from the community, where the experience will surely be replicated.

This project has been designed to be sustainable. Its dynamics allow it to remain productive over time. The empowerment of women will create new agents of social change.

This model can be replicated in different communities to strengthen the networks of active users of the tools and skills learned. We hope you will continue accompanying us.
