At Veeklture we believe increasing women’s and girls’ educational attainment contributes to women’s economic empowerment and more inclusive economic growth. Women’s economic empowerment is central to achieving women’s rights and gender equality. By empowering women economically, they get the ability to participate equally in existing markets; access the resources they need, decent work, and increased voice, and meaningful participation in economic decision-making at all levels.
Over the last 3 years, we have made significant progress in advancing gender equality through skills training and resources provision to teen mothers to improve their economic status and move out of poverty. In addition, we have taught them how to utilize their income and other resources and/or jointly make those decisions. Our plan now is to increase women’s access to economic resources and opportunities including jobs, financial services, and other productive assets, skills development, and market information.
