MDU Women's Empowerment program is partnered with Women With Hope. WWH's aim to improve girls and women employability
prospects by preparing them for quality jobs and helping others succeed as
entrepreneurs. Education and decent employment opportunities are the key to helping people get the chance to work themselves out of poverty. The women (young and mature) are taught sustainable income generating skills. WWH provides hands on vocational skills in hairdressing,
tailoring, garment cutting, fashion design, knitting, cobbling and shoe
production, leather works, hand crafts making and computer training. These
skills empower young people to believe in their dreams and to enable
acquisition of income so that they can support their household and families.
Each training course is complemented with a certificate upon completion.
Once a week, the volunteers, along with our MDU social worker, meet up with a group of ladies at WWH.
Here ,volunteers are required to lead or assist in the delivery of skills ,vocational training ,leadership development, mentorship and act as role models through telling their stories of success ,resilience and perseverance which can motivate women.
Volunteers should expect training and orientation to prepare them for their roles, regular communication from the program team and a supportive atmosphere.
Their presence encourages women to participate in programs.
