Young-women Socio-economic empowerment and inclusion Programme

“There are more than 500 million adolescent girls living in the developing world today. Every one of them can potentially help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, with ripple effects multiplying across her society.” said Anthony Lake, Executive Director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

SHEEO NGO is working hard towards an economic independence and inclusion while promoting the social consideration of the adolescents girls and young women. They are potential for the integral development of the community and should not be left behind.

At SHEEO NGO, here is what we do under this programme area:

1. We offer and sponsor vocational and entrepreneurship skills, adult and financial literacy training and coaching to ensure poor, rural adolescents’ girls and young women have access to skills necessary for their personal and professional growth in order to create jobs, compete for jobs opportunities and generate income to improve their livelihoods and impact their communities positively;

2. We initiate, build and run enterprise-based vocational and business skills training centres following Tanzania Vocational and Adult  Education curriculum with extra-curricular activities promoting gender-equality, SRHR, environmental protection, WASH, good parenting and innovation initiatives to help poor, rural young women change both their living standards, children and communities.
