Economic Empowerment Program

Poverty deprives people of the minimum standard of accepted human life. In addition, the state of deprivation and disability that children of poor communities experienced requires big efforts to help them become active and productive individuals.

The Foundation’s work in the Economic Empowerment Program works on changing the idea of aid and relief into support and development. The former approach excludes the view of the poor as a burden on societies. Instead, we treat our community members as valuable economic actors when their abilities and skills are discovered and their confidence is restored.

The Foundation works on providing individuals of both genders with the training, tools, project incubators, and marketing mechanisms required in technical and professional fields.
