Dear all,
Long time, no see!
"For Equal Rights" Educational Center NGO is back with beautiful updates of our women, who are now out there with business ideas and the skillset to bring their dreams to reality despite the harsh political conditions of the last years.
Within the framework of the “Education and Employment Opportunities for Forcibly Displaced and War-Affected Women” program, which is being funded by YOUR generous donations and implemented by “For Equal Rights” Educational Center NGO (FER), 10 forcibly displaced women have been included in this phase of the project.
After the last cohort of women graduated, FER had to start the registration for the next cohort. The beneficiaries were selected via an open online application form, which invited everyone interested to participate. Then, FER organized screening of all participants and finalized around 40 participants that were eligible.Thirty out of the 40 participants will be engaged within this project. Due to the scale of this fundraising, we had to make a waiting list of women, and invite the thirty particpants slowly, but this shall be remedied, as we are planning to start a campaign and increase these donations as much as possible. Then, certainly, we can accommodate every single woman in our list -- with you!
Before the start of the professional training phase, all 10 participants went through a preparatory period focused on capacity development
Preparatory and Soft Skills Development Phase
Needs and Capacity Assessment: Individual discussions were held to ensure the accurate selection of specializations, not only according to participants’ abilities and preferences but also taking into account their future places of residence, local market demand, and other factors – so that the acquired specialization would be truly applicable and in demand.
Professional Training Phase
- Professional Courses: Conducted at the “ArtHouse” school, according to their chosen specialization.
- Selection and Purchase of Primary Professional Tools/Equipment: As well as instruction on their use.
We can share the list of all 10 participants if any of you requests or would want to keep in touch with our beneficiary women. If you are interested, please do reach out to our Projects Director at kh.gevorgyann@gmail.com.
THANK YOU, once again, for being with us for almost five years. It is unbeliebale what small "coffee" donations can do.
If ever in Armenia, do visit our office and we bet our beneficiary women would love to have a coffee/gossip date with you and share all the wonderful things they have done.
With love,
FER
