    Description

    Women's Life & Empowerment Coach

    Many women, including unmarried mothers, teenage mothers, widows, and women with disabilities, are facing significant challenges in caring for their children, relying primarily on insufficient rations provided by WFP. To support these vulnerable groups, we aim to offer capacity-building programs focused on small business management, empowering them toward self-reliance.

    We invite volunteers to apply for this opportunity to help us empower these women. In addition to providing training, volunteers will play a crucial role in connecting our organization with larger charities and individuals of goodwill to secure loans as capital. This support will enable these women to maximize their business potential and improve their livelihoods.

    Activities & Shifts

    • Gather information on the specific needs and challenges faced by women participants through surveys and interviews.
    • Organize and lead workshops on topics such as small business management, financial literacy, and marketing strategies.
    • Research and compile a list of potential funding sources, including charities and microfinance institutions, that can provide loans or grants.
    • Host networking events to connect women with local entrepreneurs, businesses, and potential investors.
    • Help women prepare loan applications and business proposals to improve their chances of securing funding.
    • Raise awareness of the challenges faced by these women within the community and to potential donors and supporters.
