Girls and women in general are still faced with many challenges, among them includes unemployment, poor education or low educational level and early motherhood.
The society expectation and belief, women are the family care takers, meaning children caretakers and house chores. Single parenting is another challenge facing women and many young girls, as the male parents runs away from their responsibilities as fathers leaving the children’s responsibilities to the mothers; limiting them the access of education and economic benefits to support their children in a good way.
From the challenges affecting women and girls, our organization is to help those women to become respected and active members in the community socio-economic development.
