Empowering Women to gain Economic Independence

A new Women's Organisation is born in Kenya. Its aim is simple: to empower women to gain Economic Independence.

This project will target women of Kibera in Kenya. These women have been under poverty oppression for a long time. With this project, they will have the chance to liberate themselves from the poverty yoke through small scale business. They will be producing jewelry with support from experts. The project Team will train them in how to make the jewelry that can compete on the market and link them to markets as well.

This is a commendable effort because the Kibera Women will now be able to earn a little more income to help them meet their daily needs as well as send their children to school.

Below are some of the jewelry samples they are producing.
