Empowering Women in Simooya
Chibozu Community Trust set up a women's club, made up of a group of women from the Simooya community, to meet together and receive various trade skills training and engage in trading activities.
The club gives women in the area a space to learn new skills, build confidence and create opportunities for income generation that benefit not only themselves but their wider families and the community as a whole.
Sewing Equipment and Skills Training
With support from Chibozu Community Trust, members of the women's club have received sewing equipment and training, enabling them to produce and sell textile goods within the local community.
These trading activities provide a vital source of additional household income, helping families to meet everyday needs and invest in their children's education and wellbeing.
The Trust continues to look for opportunities to expand the range of skills training offered to the women's club, building on the success of the sewing programme.
