Project Report | Jul 22, 2024
Broad reach for women's projects

By Cheryl Martin | Project Manager

Our programmes support workshops and other learning opportunities. We ensure workshops meet the desired needs of the community and that wherever possible, we utilize the skills and knowledge of the community.

Michele Obama once said,  "When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous."    We strive to provide opportunities for women and girls to develop skills and knowledge as individuals and as a community. 

Workshops aim to address day-to-day needs as well as helping with employment prospects.   In Ghana, for example, women have been trained in basic first aid. First Aid certification is not only an asset in managing illness and injury in day-to-day life. The certification also increases employability.  First Aid skills are a strong point on any CV.  Consider the bigger picture.  The more people trained in First Aid, the greater the chance an illness or injury is managed effectively - the community benefits.  

Education is family-friendly too. In  Fiji, door-to-door education with local nurses has been an effective way of reaching families with vital health information about local issues. Workshops and information brochures have also been a way to inform families of important health information. 

In  Nepal, Costa Rica, Cambodia and Thailand we have been able to support women and girls with English lessons.  English skills can lead to employment opportunities as well as access to further education opportunities.   The learning environment also helps women to build a support network of fellow learners. 

 As well as English lessons, our project aims to develop computer literacy.  A  skill set that includes computer literacy skills empowers females to operate in today’s world.  It opens the door to employment, self-learning, and access to a breadth of information.

We have appreciated your support to bring these programs to women and girls in a range of communities around the world.
