Economic Empowerment Program
The specter of poverty deprives people of the minimum standard of accepted human life. 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, this approach excludes the view of the poor as burden on societies, rather re-consider the poor as valuable economic actors when their abilities and skills are discovered, 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. And provide them with the skills that enable them to create job opportunities for themselves and others in many reign followed by an expansion of business activities from one region to another.
