These brave women have completed their two-month residency program, learning numeracy and literacy as well as vocational skills including catering, vegetable farming, poultry farming, sewing, pottery, handicrafts, leadership and communications as well as small-business guidance. Some women receive seed money to start their own business when they return home.
Your support of this important program empowers women with hope, choices and independence. Thank you!
“At Hamlin, I found a place where I could regain my hope. I received training at Desta Mender that makes me incredibly happy and empowers me to support my family.
I learned poultry, farming, embroidery and how to save money. I have learned skills to run a business. I hope to change my life and make the Hamlin staff proud.” - Kedija, Women’s Empowerment Program graduate
