The concept of empowering women in Africa to help themselves is a timely initiative in mainstreaming gender and fighting poverty.
We believe that we have a moral responsibility to ensure that women in rural Africa are given the skills and resources they need to support themselves and to enjoy the broadest opportunities for self-fulfilment,sustainability and development.

Biashara Camp & Women Business Centre
Following an intensive Biashara Camp held from January-March 2010 with Project Africa development Mentors Marina Molander and Lisa Sundström, At least 20 women from the rural Godo village in south coast, Kenya established a Women's Business Centre dubbed Neema Project. The women rehabilitated anold farm house and converted it into a village "super market" with each of the participants finding space to sell her wares and earn an income. Biashara Camp is a program of Project Africa that aims to empower rural women with business education and financial literacy for enterprise development. |
Project Africa is about expanding the availability of such skills and resources to reach the marginalized rural women and girls in Africa and broadening their capacity to rise above the social challenges. By emphasizing the fact that GIFT of being a WOMAN (mother/wife , daughter/sister) is far beyond the stereotype roles spelt by traditions. We believe that women and girls in Africa have the ability to re-build Africa from the ruins caused by poverty, HIV/Aids, gender inequity and other social challenges if only they can be EMPOWERED.
Please take the time to find out about what we can do. I hope, you will be able to contribute to making our vision come to pass.
