PEDOCARE has introduced a new skills and livelihood programme aimed at empowering women and young people with the tools they need to build sustainable incomes and greater financial independence. The programme combines practical vocational training, basic business skills, and mentorship to help participants start, strengthen, or diversify their income‑generating activities.
Training areas are tailored to local market opportunities and may include small‑scale agribusiness, digital skills, crafts, services, and micro‑enterprise management. Participants also receive guidance on savings, budgeting, and accessing financial services, with a strong emphasis on peer support and collective learning.
Developed in partnership with community leaders, private‑sector actors, and relevant government departments, the programme is designed to be inclusive and accessible for women and youth who often face barriers to decent work. By expanding skills, confidence, and economic opportunities, PEDOCARE’s livelihood initiative contributes directly to stronger households and more resilient communities.
