Project Information

Creating a safe haven to educate and build self-esteem for women and children.

Describe the need affecting community

Domestic abuse, both gender based violence as well as child abuse, is a significant challenge in Gamasara and it creates an environment that lacks peace and justice for both in the home as well as in the community. A lack of education among children, and education skills among women makes it harder for them to advocate for themselves in an effort to change the environment.

How will this Advance project help to address the need?

The Emmanuel Center will continue to empower women through skills training and worldview transformation training. Women and children both will be exposed to the understanding that they are people of sacred worth. We will work on community education in the areas of empowerment and women’s and children’s rights. We will work on development projects that continue to improve the lives of women and children in areas of income empowerment, health, and basic rights.

Describe the primary goal of the project

Empower women and children create an environment of peace and justice in their homes and villages. We hope to educate, economically empower, train in leadership, and build self-confidence through biblical teachings, in order to help women and children have the ability to change their own environments.
