Summary: This project aims to break the cycle of poverty and provide sustainable livelihoods for 150 marginalized women and youth in Taiz. This is achieved through intensive vocational training and financial capacity building, followed by providing graduates with in-kind grants (tools and equipment) to establish their own small businesses and integrate into the local market, thus ensuring them an independent income and a dignified life.
Dozens of women, heads of households, and young people from marginalized and displaced groups in Taiz live under the weight of suffocating economic exclusion, lacking professional skills and job opportunities to secure their daily sustenance. This deprivation traps them in a vicious cycle of poverty, forcing them to rely entirely on temporary relief aid that neither preserves their dignity nor builds a future.
The "Step" project does not offer temporary solutions, but rather provides beneficiaries with the tools of production. We will train them through intensive professional courses in fields required by the local market (such as sewing, systems maintenance, etc.), and then provide them with "in-kind empowerment kits" that include the equipment and machinery necessary to launch their small projects immediately from inside their homes, while accompanying them with guidance to ensure their success.
With your donation today, you are not just buying a one-time meal, but investing in breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Thanks to you, beneficiaries are transformed from "aid recipients" to "independent income creators," ensuring food for their families, continued education for their children, and their long-term integration as a productive and respected force in society.
