The only way we can tackle all the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is through training, investment and job creation and this is what is at the heart of this project. A gift to this project helps our women take the first step to a future as a female entrepreneur. This helps tackle the inequality of gender across Africa.
We get to know the women as they sign up and join our 6-week training program and therefore we are in the best position to identify women that graduate and have the drive to set up their own business but are presented with a block due to funding. We will continue to provide graduates with support and access to sewing machines, stoves and computers but with a small start-up grant to purchase essential supplies is often the only thing needed to support local women start her very own business.
By having an income, families will have the means to independently pay for food, education and healthcare which will again reduce dependency and contribute to economic growth.
A donation of just $10 provides enough fabric for one woman to kick start her business and make 4 items to sell, thank you for your support.
