The Need
Studies have shown that despite the fact that women empowerment is directly proportional to their participation in community development and the general performance of community development projects, little is still being done to empower these women in the society. In counties where women are empowered, they have been said to be very instrumental in implementing a number of development projects. Therefore, giving knowledge and skills to them will go a long way in developing the economy. Having interacted with the community members for a while, Medical Missions Africa saw a great potential to improve the well-being of their families and contribute to the home responsibilities their husbands have and also contribute to the eradication of poverty if given skills on tailoring.
