WE STRIVE TO CREATE A SOCIETY WHERE
Women & Girls
have the entrepreneurial mindset and financial independence to
support themselves, their families and their communities.
We believe that
every woman and girl has the potential
to be the change she desires to see in her life if availed of an enabling environment.
Our Action areas
Skilling for Girls
Support girls especially dropouts and young mothers to acquire income-generating skills such as tailoring and baking.
Entrepreneurship for Women
When women are economically empowered and equiped, children in their care will have an enabling environment to survive.
Climate Change Adaptation
Empower women and girls to practice sustainable agriculture and participate in waste management & recycling practices.
W.A.C.E stands for
Women in Action for Community Empowerment
We believe in the tickle-up concept of empowering the woman to develop herself, then her household and eventually the entire community will reap the benefits of this growth/empowerment. We have taught women a number of skills that include;
- Mushroom growing
- Rabbit keeping
- Smart Agriculture
- Juice production
- Poultry
- Waste recyling
- Value addition
- ICT
In addition, we also teach them financial literacy and entrepreneurship so that they can successfully run and manage their businesses.
Indicators of core importance
When women are empowered,
communities become more sustainable.
Our mission is implemented by creating groups/clusters of 15-20 women with similar challenges and needs. Each group is headed by a team leader whose focus is on socioeconomic development.
