Why Reach Out To Empower Women Worldwide?

3Empowering women is my mission, whether those women are in California, Ethiopia, or Tanzania. I support today’s women-helping-women movements because we create our greatest impact when we work together; that is how we can transform our lives and the world. That’s why I was so excited to connect with the Women’s Empowerment Program through Convoy of Hope. The program works to help women around the world to realize their value and reach their potential through job training and education.

Women’s Empowerment Program

When women are given the opportunity to generate their own income, they not only lift up their families, they raise their country’s economic standing. The current goal of the Women’s Empowerment Program is to advance women in Ethiopia, Tanzania, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Philippines. Through the program women learn to make strategic, independent life choices. They receive community-based training in peer-oriented cooperative savings groups and develop non-traditional micro-enterprises.

This requires a multi-faceted approach. Through the Women’s Micro-Enterprise Program, Convoy of Hope equips women with financial education, vocational training, cooperative saving groups and even start-up capital. Through the Mother’s Club, women learn nutrition, health and hygiene, literacy, small-scale community agriculture, and craftsmanship/cooking. Convoy of Hope also reaches out with Empowered Girls, which educates in schools and communities.

Women Helping Women Can Change The World

Seeing women find a better way of living proves this effort is worthwhile. We are all sisters, and women need help all over the world. It’s our job to help them. When we do, we have an impact, not only on their lives, but on the lives of their children and future generations. I am so honored to be a part of the work that Convoy of Hope is doing, and I urge each of you to find a way to reach out and help a sister somewhere in the world today.
