Young women in Highfield West are set to benefit from empowerment projects being spear-headed by Tumelo foundation.
The foundation announced that young women are going to benefit from free life skills which include driving lessons, baking , sewing , agriculture , nurse aid and detergent making.
The foundation Secretary General, Percy Willow, said they have been organizing programs benefiting men while neglecting women.
“All along our programs were targeting men, disadavantaging young women. We want everyone to be empowered and this will benefit our community,” Said Willow
Foundation Deputy Director Norman Muzamindo added the foundation wants to give women a rod and teach them to source for fish as opposed to giving them fish.
“We want to train them to be skilled, leaving them self-sufficient. We have engaged various line ministries and specialists in various life skills programs.” Muzamindo added.
