economically independent through creating sustainable
livelihoods.

self-reliance, raise self-esteem and a positive self-concept.
What is a
sustainable livelihood?
A livelihood is much more than
a job or income generating activity. Women’s livelihoods include
the resources and supports to move beyond basic income generation
towards increased economic resiliency . When a woman has the
skills, knowledge and confidence to find new work, as well as a
reserve of resources and broad support networks, she has developed
a livelihood for herself.

Wendy MacCrimmon, representing the board of the
Women’s Own Resource Centre (WORC). Kawartha
Credit Union’s Community Dividend program sees
annual donations — equal to the value of a five
per cent dividend on membership shares — go

overall well-being of communities. The WORC will
use the donation for their community
programming.
