Women Empowerment
Afi Antonio Foundation works to alleviate poverty among women and also focuses on advocating the women’s rights. Since its inception, 70% of our target beneficiaries have consisted of women and girls.
We host an annual Women Empowerment Program – where we target widows, single mothers, house wives, unemployed women, disabled women and female school dropouts in rural areas and equip them with income-generating skills such as bead making, soap making, floral arrangement, make-up artistry etc. that will help them realize their financial goals and overcome persistent, gender-based barriers. During these programs, we bring in professional capacity building facilitators to train self-employed women with financial, marketing, technology, and managerial techniques.
