While progress in the policy on Women Empowerment and legislative frameworks has been remarkable, implementation and enforcement has faced a myriad of challenges resulting in slow progress in closing the gender gap and enhancing women's th empowerment in the social, economic and political spheres. Kenya ranks the 109 out of 153 countries in the 2020 7 Global Gender Gap rankings of the World Economic Forum. In the rankings of the United Nations Development 8th Programmer (UNDP), using the Gender Inequality, Kenya ranks the 137 out of 189 countries ranked from best to poorest performers. It fares better than Malawi, Eswatini and Mozambique in the Eastern and 9 Southern Africa regions.
After going through two faces ever since we started the empowerment on women leaving with disabilities we are rolling the third face of the project and has we have been highlighting on our first and second reports covid has really affected our projects negatively and we are appealing for more funding from donors. If you are to read this please we have been able to reach out to over 1,500 young and old women who are living with disabilities under these devastating conditions of Covid 19 but just with one hand we can manage to sustain their need without adequate funding.
Currently we are running on depts and wish we can be able to reach at least another 1,500 women in Kenya. Our projection is $20,000 to be able to reach this goal. We are building, ore business for the women providing suitable projects and even building them house to be able to live comfortably. we have lost 10 women to Covid 19 their families who were dependent on them are now left without breadwinners and we will be stepping in to provide for them at a budget of $7,000 per every quarter
We appeal to our entire friend and other people willing to partner with us to please reach out to us through GlobalGiving or our email address which is bachadisassociation@gmail.com
Thank you and stay safe
