The Women’s Leadership Academy
The Women’s LeadershipAcademy is conceived to serve as a focal point for all of PROJECT AFRICA’s capacity building efforts. The Academy functions as a training facility for rural women. It provides most of our members their first introduction to a formal learning environment as well as vocational training in various fields that are vital to the economic empowerment of rural women.
PROJECT AFRICA’s decision to launch a distinct capacity building center was spurred by a number of inter-related needs and ideas. At the most basic level, the Women’s Academy would provide a base for essential coordination and consolidation of our programs to ensure that our main objective of empowering rural women with skills and resources for enterprise development is realized.
The Women’s Academy also is created to fill the increasing need to develop general, capacity building programs that cut across all the requirements for rural development. By reaching
out to other community based organizations, we aim to tap skills and resources that are present amongst women self help groups (SHG) while encouraging women to be benefactors
Our Training Program
a) Basic Literacy
b) Vocational Training
Our Training Model:
Project Africa considers that rural women have not only various cultural challenges that deter their wishes gain education but also that their will is hampered by economic household needs that rural women have to meet as breadwinners and caregivers.
Our training approach of learning by doing and earning ensures that women start creating income as soon as they are on training.
