Marginalized women are believed to be more vulnerable and susceptible in society. Their rights and freedoms are choked and their voices buried due to abnormal societal ethics.
At Ezra Community Helpers, we are overwhelmed by reports we got on a daily basis on how some women are been badly treated either as widows, vulnerable or single mothers. This prompted us to action to undergo community mapping to be sure of the course we want to advocate for, we identified some of these women and we paid a visit to them to be sure they are indeed facing these challenges.
We aimed to not just enhance their means of livelihood, but also to empower them with financial literacy programs to be able to manage their proposed businesses with the prospect of economic growth that would serve as a support structure to take them out of poverty in all spheres and to be beyond stand in the society as an unflappable voice.
Our team had a wonderful time with the women during our visit which gave them hope and a sense of being part of the society. We hope women programs keep scaling and the rights of marginalized women are protected.
