Our Skills Lab delivers practical, market-responsive livelihood skills training designed to create sustainable income opportunities for women within their communities. Prior to each training cycle, we assess local market demand to identify viable micro-enterprises with strong potential for growth and sustainability.

Based on these findings, women receive hands-on training in income-generating activities such as liquid soap production, mosquito repellent making, arts and crafts, and other context-appropriate small-scale enterprises. The training is production-focused and highly practical, ensuring participants develop the technical competence to produce quality goods that meet local market needs.

We recognise that training alone is not sufficient. Through our Startup & Venture Support component, women receive start-up capital, essential materials, access to small-scale production machinery, such as liquid soap mixing equipment to strengthen efficiency, quality control, and output capacity.

Our support extends beyond the initial launch phase, ensuring women are not left to navigate challenges alone. This end-to-end approach strengthens business survival, promotes steady growth, and enhances long-term sustainability.

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Our Leadership Academy strengthens women's confidence, agency, and voice to lead within their households and communities, while protecting them from gender-based violence. In fragile and post-conflict contexts, women often carry the responsibility of rebuilding families while remaining excluded from decision-making spaces and exposed to heightened risks of violence and abuse.

Through structured leadership sessions, psychosocial counselling, and referral pathways to protection services, women develop skills in communication, problem-solving, advocacy, and collective action, alongside the tools to recognise, respond to, and safely report gender-based violence. The programme fosters self-confidence, peer support, and awareness of rights, enabling participants to engage more actively in community processes and economic decision-making, free from violence and fear.

By strengthening leadership, protection, and economic empowerment together, we ensure that income generation translates into voice, influence, safety, and long-term social transformation.
