Our partnership with United African Orphans and Widows Foundation

This project will focus on women’s empowerment using a two-pronged, sustainable approach. The 30 women will receive the training and tools necessary to build small-businesses that will continue to help the community grow and flourish in the years to come. Additionally, the young women in the community will for the first time be able to purchase low-cost, reusable, locally produced sanitary products that will allow them to remain actively engaged in their education. This will be reinforced by the introduction of sanitation training and sex education in the pilot school classrooms, which will further enhance the long-term sustainability of the program’s goals even after the official project has ended.
