                                                                                      Board Of Directors

Our Objectives

• To promote women’s access to resources and opportunities

• To promote and celebrate women’s successes

• To support women in becoming economically independent through creating sustainable livelihoods.

• To assist with 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.
