The Challenge
The Program
OEF will launch a pilot loan project as WE´s partner, through which the social and economic empowerment of 600 women will be promoted with: (i) raising awareness about human rights, gender equity, domestic violence prevention, leadership, and participation; (ii) access to training for life and work skills; (iii) access to vocational training; (iv) access to loans to build entrepreneurship, business advice, and development support; and (v) health education. In addition, the program will focus on increasing the women’s levels of participation and decision-making, both at the family and community levels.
