The organization has been supporting poor and less-privileged women in Sierra Leone by offering them much needed skills to enable them create jobs for themselves thereby becoming self-reliant.
Sierra Leone continues to be ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world, according to the UN Human Development Index. Within this frame of generalized poverty, women come worse off and have been found to be poorer than men. This is due to gender disparities existing with respect to access to and control of a range of assets including direct productive assets such as land and macro credit, human capital assets including education and health, etc.
From the funds raised through the GlobalGiving platform, the organization provided skills training programs for 15 rural community women in the Newton rural community. Our sensitization programs in relation to women's empowerment, discrimination and abuse continue to positively impact the lives of women in the country.
We continue to thank our partners and friends who donated their hard earned cash towards this project. Together, we're making a difference in the lives of poor and less-privileged women in the country.
