SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is committed to advancing gender equality by developing local skills training programs specifically for women. These programs offer hands-on training in sewing, IT, bookkeeping, and entrepreneurship to equip women with tools to achieve financial independence. SayPro focuses on rural and low-income communities where women often have limited access to formal education or job opportunities. With Peace Corps support, SayPro organizes classes that are accessible, inclusive, and culturally sensitive.
SayPro recognizes that empowering women with practical skills leads to stronger families and communities. These programs not only provide technical know-how but also include leadership development and financial literacy sessions. Peace Corps volunteers work with SayPro trainers to tailor content to community needs, ensuring every woman benefits from relevant and applicable knowledge. SayPro’s programs have already helped hundreds of women launch micro-enterprises, access local job markets, and improve their family’s quality of life.
Beyond training, SayPro also builds support networks for women to share resources, ideas, and experiences. These networks, supported by Peace Corps mentors, promote peer learning and confidence-building. SayPro encourages graduates to mentor new trainees, creating a cycle of empowerment. Community engagement is key to the program’s success, and SayPro hosts regular exhibitions and marketplaces where women can showcase and sell their products. This real-world experience helps boost income and visibility.
SayPro envisions a future where every woman has the skills and confidence to create a sustainable livelihood. With ongoing support from the Peace Corps, SayPro is scaling its programs across multiple regions. The impact is evident in increased women’s participation in local economies, improved household income, and growing community respect for women-led initiatives. SayPro remains dedicated to creating environments where women’s talents are recognized, nurtured, and celebrated.
