In our project updates we have shared with you the story of many women who are going through our training program in hopes of gaining skills to help them build better lives for themselves, their families and their communities. Now we want to share with you the story of why we began working in South Sudan, the challenges our program participants face and the impact we hope to have through our programs.
Our programs in South Sudan include direct financial aid, rights awareness classes, job-skills training and emotional support. The one-year program was developed for South Sudan’s special challenges and demands, and includes vocational training that helps women earn an income and support themselves, through:
Commercial Integrated Farming Initiative (CIFI) — addressing hunger and poverty by teaching women to make an income with organic farming for commercial productionBread-making — helping socially-excluded women learn baking skills so they can produce and sell baked goods.
Thanks,
Tadai Abilla
