Despite improvements in access to education, many children find themselves in inadequate facilities with poorly supported teachers. Social norms mean women are expected to drop out of school at a young age to support their family, and a lack of access to quality healthcare further hinders their ability to break the poverty cycle.

TEL International and its partners are committed to providing structured vocational training, healthcare, and gender-equality workshops to women, that help improve their financial independence and allows freedom of choice and an alternative to the expected path of dependence. Support will be given to a sufficient number of local women and girls to secure economic and social achievements that change their lives and act as catalysts/exemplars for influence and change across the wider community.

This program removes key barriers, economic or social, that prevent women and children from achieving social justice, equality, and a dignified standard of living. Access to quality education, the diversification of the vocational skills, and the promotion of good health and well-being of women and children increasing their opportunities and incomes. The project will phase over to the community and the collaborative partners, once they feel prepared to continue independently.
