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.
