SUPPORT WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT
“My sisters in the village used to wonder what would become of us? Thanks to WEP I am now a professional business women!"
At RTC MISSIONS, we know from experience that when we increase incomes and opportunities for women, entire communities, economies, and countries benefit. Providing necessities such as health care and even food rations may not be enough without addressing the root cause of the problem of poverty. Addressing widow’s economic empowerment (W.E.P.) puts them in the driver’s seat of their lives and stops their vulnerability. It is also a strategic imperative that reduces the cycle of poverty and promotes economic growth, increases access to education and improves health outcomes. Investing in the economic empowerment of women, in all their diversity, builds a resilient society. Because an investment in a woman is an investment in her community and her country.
The Ministry has a long standing commitment to womens economic empowerment through thoughtful and innovative programming. With resources from well-wishers and partners The Ministry is managing four activities being our pillars of empowerment. These include;
1 Capacity building
2 Seed Capital
3 Employment initiatives through income generating projects
4 Entrepreneurship training in long-term business for success.
Women’s economic empowerment includes any women’s ability to participate equally in existing markets; their access to and control over productive resources, access to decent work, control over their own time, lives and bodies; and increased voice, agency and meaningful participation in economic decision-making at all levels from the household to international institutions. The final result is economic independence and freedom for women and their families.
