Employment
Often the problem that people face in developing countries is not a lack of ideas or a lack of ability, but a lack of opportunity. We support programmes that provide that opportunity to transform individual lives, and have an added benefit of aiding community cohesion & development at the same time.
The following projects that we support are run by our partner organisations.
New Business and Enterprise (Women at risk, Ethiopia)
A main part of the reason why Women at Risk is so successful is due to the fact that they give vulnerable women new opportunities. Leaving the sex work industry requires that women step into a new life, and learning new employment skills is an important part of that.
