WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Empowering Immigrant women to participate fully in economic life is essential to build stronger economies and improve the quality of life for many families and communities. Vitendo4africa believes that an empowered woman has the potential to break the cycle of poverty in the immigrant community, keep the family healthy and more connected with resources in the community.
Women empowerment program focuses on connecting immigrant and refugees women with resources, equipping them with business skills, asset building and skills development.
We are seeking funding for bridging and pre-employment programs and for training assistance for immigrant and refugees women to help them become financially independent.
