Our Women’s Economic Empowerment project in Aysaita Woreda, Afar Regional State, funded by Folkekirkens Nødhjælp (DanChurchAid) was honored with a visit from Mrs. Moferiyat Kamil, Minister of the Ministry of Labour and Skills. The project focuses on empowering young women through self-employment, enabling them to establish small enterprises in Aysaita. During the visit, a bazaar showcased four women-led enterprises, including two model Self-Help Groups (SHGs) from our target village, Rumayto. This visit marks a significant milestone for our organization, solidifying our presence and impact in supporting the people of Afar. Over the past week, we have gained recognition from regional stakeholders, and now we are proud to receive acknowledgment from federal authorities as well. We remain steadfast in our mission and will continue driving meaningful change with determination and hope. #womenempowerment #SDGs #Leavenoonebehind #Dignifiedemployment
