By Gayane Abrahamyan | President, For Equal Rights NGO
We are happy to inform you that all the beneficiaries of the first cohort of our project have successfully completed the educational part of our project. As a result, three of them are now specialized in hairdressing, three in cosmetology, one in baking and pastry, one in accounting and one as a tailor.
All the participants received a certificate from “For Equal Rights” Educational Center NGO and a diploma indicating their proficiency in the chosen field from “Art House” Educational Center. Thanks to the donations, all the beneficiaries received various items/products upon their choice with the amount of 100 000 AMD as the first investment to be able to be engaged in the labor market.
All the graduates from hairdressing and cosmetology courses are already making home visits for their clients and are parallelly looking for a main job. The graduate from the bakery course has decided to move to Stepanakert and open a bakery there. The accountancy course graduate after two months of paid internship in For Equal Rights NGO is going through interviews to choose a jobsite.
Although their first steps in the job market is one of the main goals of the initiative, the most significant achievement is their phycological rehabilitation and the new hope for the future. We have succeeded to establish a one-of-a-kind network of strong-willed women, where they find mutual assistance, support and cooperation. Each of them is also very welcome to our “Article 3” Human Rights Club and be a part of other initiatives.
We would like to express our gratitude to each of the donors. Thanks to your donations our beneficiaries can now have a fresh start in their careers but more importantly in their lives.
P.S. The project is currently supported by several Ambassadors based in Armenia and we are getting ready to host the second cohort of the project!
