Introduction
Pre COVID-19 South Africa had an alarming number of cases of unemployment and today the figures are critical meaning many people are left without a home or food. In November 2020 we started our women empowerment project again and we are now starting to teach sewing lessons and soon will extend to catering and computing. By providing skills training and CV support we hope to empower these women and give them a sense of independence as well as a source of income.
Report
We currently have 150 women signed up for the program and are busy finalizing a week long train the trainers program to launch the centre. Our goal with this project is to training and skills to women in townships across South Africa, allowing them access to new job opportunities and earn themselves an income.
