Women's empowerment

Women's participation in education, livelihoods, and community decision-making can contribute to stronger families and communities. Peoples Hands Organization supports initiatives that create opportunities for women to develop skills, strengthen livelihoods, and participate in community development.

  • Entrepreneurship
  • Financial and economic awareness
  • Vocational training
  • Community leadership
  • Women's community groups
  • Income-generation initiatives

Economic empowerment

Opportunity that strengthens decision-making

Economic opportunity can strengthen women's ability to contribute to household wellbeing and make decisions about their futures. Where appropriate, our programmes connect skills development with practical livelihood opportunities.
