Hey guys,
Today I bring you photos and highlights from Hope Again Initiative event which held a few weeks ago in Port-Harcourt City. Hope Again Initiative is a community based vocational training and mentor-ship program run by Freky Andrew-Essien Care Foundation with the aim of empowering women and girls living with disability and promoting inclusion within communities.
The project goes beyond community and media based advocacy. It directly impact the lives of nontraditional members of the society, the under represented, invincible minority group of people .... 'The disabled community' especially women and girls.
To further improve the quality of life and standard of living for women and girls with disability, Faecare Foundation has taken the responsibility to reach out to these women in rural and urban communities in Nigeria society touching lives with vocational skills and mentoring programmes to help them acquire skills, grow their business, earn a decent independent living and gain self empowerment and economic freedom.
19 women in total graduated from the project. This is the first batch, there's much more to be done.
