Women’s Knitting Training Project (Social Fund for Development)/Abs:

Our women’s knitting training project benefited 8,000 women, with an equal participation of 4,000 women and 4,000 men. This program not only taught valuable knitting skills but also created opportunities for women to generate income and achieve financial independence. By empowering women with these practical skills, the project opened new doors to entrepreneurship and self-reliance, making a tangible difference in their lives.
Through these initiatives, we have continued our work to promote empowerment, break down barriers, and create opportunities for all. With each project, we strive to build a more inclusive, resilient, and prosperous community in the Abs region.
