Learn A Skill
This campaign aims to equip girls and young women with vocational skills for entrepreneurial purposes. Marginalized young women gain knowledge and skills, access opportunities and engage actively in decent work of their choosing, Global unemployment disproportionately affects young women. The free skill acquisition training is MOGCI’s legacy in this campaign. Poverty increases women’s vulnerabilities and exposes them to double discrimination on account of their gender and economic situation. Their families, communities and economies suffer as a result. MOGCI runs myriad of programmes to provide trainings, soft loans and practical skills to empower women and girls economically.
