Empowering Women: COVID – 19 Recovery Project

Empowering Women: COVID – 19 Recovery Project To Help Women Cope – in this segment we focused on an initiative called the Women Economy Empowerment Project (WEEP) which is conceptualized by the Girls to Women Development Foundation which was in response to a proposal from the Civil Society Boost Initiative funded by the European Union.

We’re now going to look into the project which, in the light of the sixteen (16) days of activism for no violence against women, has been helping women cope with the economic fall-outs of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

So far the women were exposed to Digital marketing, entrepreneurship training, pitching their business, social marketing, and listening to motivational speakers and other entrepreneurs.

To shed some light on the 16 women who will be doing the 6 months of training is recipient Jody-Ann Gordon, CEO- Kuiz Designs, and Stacy-Ann Gavin, Managing Director of Girls to Women Development Foundation – watch the full interview here:
