Economic independence is the surest protection against the vulnerabilities that vulnerability invites.
WECY's Women & Youth Livelihood Programme equips women, single mothers, teenage mothers, survivors of gender-based violence and young people with disabilities to earn an income of their own. Participants move through a structured pathway: skills training, business mentorship, financial literacy, market linkage, and continued peer support after graduation.
