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’.
