Women’s Day Special: 970 economically deprived women and widows empowered by Project Life in the year 2011-12…


Project Life has been sincerely working for the empowerment of women since May 2008.  Today, on this Women’s Day, we take the pledge to reenergize our efforts even more and appeal to you all to come forward for the mission to empower women…
Women Empowerment Program (WEP) of Project Life helps the most vulnerable women i.e. below the poverty line women and widows in becoming economically self-sufficient in project districts. Implementation of WEP by Project Life has made its mark as best implementing organization with Department of Women and Child Welfare - Government of Gujarat (GoG) and Department of Social Defence.

WEP mobilizes villages and urban area communities to maximize the enrolment of widows in skills and capacity development programs and has reviewed and strengthen the skills and capacity-building curriculum of five week long training program. In addition WEP invests in building capacities of the team members involved in project implementation. Networking with Government is also done for knowledge sharing and strengthening the program. Market linkage to trained women is the key role played by the ‘Life’.

The Program has entered with the zeal for the new year of 2013. In the last year, the program progressed in the following manner:
Various Equipments were given to trained widow of Junagadh district including the tehsils of Junagadh, Keshod & Veraval. A Survey was carried out of trained widows of Ahmedabad district for the further penetration. Market Linkage was provided through Local retailers & whole-sellers to trained widows of Ahemadabad District, to trained BPL women of Junagadh District and to trained widows of Amreli District. Trained widows of Junagadh Taluka were given Equipment Operating Training as well.
We are inviting you all to be the part of our crusade and Empower Women on this Women’s Day by supporting ‘Life’.
