Center for Women’s Empowerment

[:en]Youth Action International proposes to tackle the problems facing the women in Liberia using a multi-pronged approach through the creation of a Center for Women Empowerment in Monrovia, The Center for Women Empowerment uses basic education, alternative counseling, vocational training, and micro-credit loans to alleviate the negative impact the civil war has had on women in Sierra Leone. The center promotes the vital role women can play in sustainable development. It is an integral part of a long-term local capacity-building program for young women.

 

The target beneficiaries of this project include women and girls below thirty years old who have no access to basic information and are vulnerable to sexual exploitation.

 

The center seeks to:

 

 

  • Create the necessary opportunities to help young women realize their full potential.
  • Provide facilities to help promote and encourage the education and skills training of young women.
  • Provide counseling and rehabilitation services to deal with post-traumatic stress and other war-related disorders.
  • Implement workshops on small business enterprise so women can develop their business skills
  • Provide capital to help women start and manage their small businesses
  • Assign women to skilled facilitators to work alongside them.

 

  • Ensure that women completing the program will have the knowledge and resources to develop and maintain a business.
  • Provide the women computer training to help them market their products through online sites including EBAY.
