Support Self-Help Groups for Women in Ethiopia

By Isabelle Bryan | Project Leader

Hope for Justice has economically empowered vulnerable women in Ethiopia through our Self-Help Groups to ensure they can sustain their families. By improving their financial skills and saving and taking loans, these women have established small businesses in their communities, reducing the risk factors that lead to child trafficking. The women who participated in our Self-Help Groups were also educated on human trafficking, human rights, safeguarding and child protection.

The generous support from our donors makes it possible to continue our mission to eradicate human trafficking and empower women like Meselech.

A mother-of-four, Meselech shared how her participation in one of our Self-Help Groups has transformed her family’s future. She said: “The Self-Help Group is helping me to fulfil my children’s needs. Ever since I attended the first meeting, I have been contributing to the group’s savings. In addition to my saving, I have received training from Hope for Justice, which helped me understand my potential and to enhance my skills.”

While Meselech was saving, she took up a vocational training opportunity to learn how to run a small-scale business which she described as “eye-opening.” Hope for Justice also provided her with parenting education courses. When she saved enough money, she was able to apply for a loan, which she then used to buy and sell butter at her local market to earn a living.

She added: “With this support, I am hopeful that my dreams will come true in the near future.” Meselech has become a role model in the group and has improved her economic situation which means she is able to buy school materials for her children.

Thank you for your ongoing support and for making our work possible.
