Empowerment Project

This project has 3 main objectives aligned with our 3 core values:

Community, Opportunity, & Empowerment

Re-Joyce's Empowerment Project aims to uplift women and their families by providing comprehensive support and opportunities for growth. By alleviating rent burdens, the project ensures stable housing for women, allowing them to focus on personal and professional development. Education for children is prioritized, ensuring the next generation has the knowledge and skills to succeed. Technical training is offered to women, equipping them with valuable skills for better employment opportunities. Additional support services, including healthcare and counseling, further empower women to lead independent and fulfilling lives, fostering a cycle of growth and prosperity within their communities.

Goal #1- Provide Shelter

We're thrilled that our shelter building is near completion and will begin providing safe housing for young women. The shelter building rental will also help "self-fund" some of our other empowerment projects!

Goal #2- Provide Education

We would like to educate the children and alleviate the childcare burden so that the kids can have a better future and the mothers can find work. The specific need of this portion of the project is $800 for tuition for four girls. $200 funds one girl including uniforms, full room and board, and school supplies for a term. There are 3 terms each school year.

Goal #3- Provide Work Training

We would like to provide Technical Training for young mothers: Training in skills like tailoring, weaving, baking, and craft making can help create job creators instead of job seekers. The training can also provide much-needed mentoring and support amongst women in the community. The specific need of this portion of the project is 3 sewing machines (about $50 each).
