Our most recent report from the field focuses on income-generating activities that have been accomplished with your support:
• Intensive 3-day trainings to strengthen business and financial skills for 3 groups with 37 women participating; 22 are now earning a steady income and are managing their businesses for long-term sustainability. • 40 women received microloans for income-generating activity, most for vegetable or rice cultivation, livestock purchase or small business ventures. 20 women are in the process of building their income as a result.
Additionally, with groups of 20 women, OWDEB provided leadership and awareness-raising activities on a variety of topics for 400 women focusing on decision-making in both home and community.
One topic was focused on Women’s Leadership Development. 135 group members participated in trainings on community engagement, along with attending as a group dramatic skits against family violence and rights-based issues, such as promoting punishment-free primary school, the perils of drug abuse, fighting against dowry and early marriage, freedom fighting, and a pollution-free environment, etc. The women’s groups also learn some of these songs in their orientation sessions.
