Empowering Women and Girls is a program designed to empower groups who come from a truly heartbreaking background; from being shamed for being HIV positive to abandonment due to assault, being segregated due to having Albinism and a level of poverty that will be hard for most people from abroad to imagine.
The goals are to help women and girls become self-sufficient and to recruit and help more. Some of the opportunities are community work, counseling to HIV victims and home victims, palliative care, and youth programs including training health at school and communities as well as sanitary pads project.
