LIVELIHOOD

UNWA Livelihoods Program

Empowering Women and Marginalized Communities for Sustainable Futures

At UNWA, we believe that economic empowerment is a powerful tool for transforming lives and communities. Our Livelihoods Program is dedicated to supporting individuals—especially women, youth, and marginalized groups—to build sustainable incomes and break the cycle of poverty.

Through a comprehensive, community-driven approach, the program focuses on:

 

Skills Training and Capacity Building

We provide hands-on vocational training, digital literacy, entrepreneurship workshops, and life skills development tailored to local economic opportunities. Whether it's sewing, agriculture, eco-enterprise, or mobile business development, participants gain practical knowledge and confidence to thrive.

 

Job Creation and Enterprise Support

UNWA partners with local businesses, cooperatives, and social enterprises to create job pathways and micro-business opportunities. We help participants establish small enterprises, access markets, and scale their ventures sustainably.

​

💰 Access to Financial Resources

Our program connects participants with essential financial tools, including:

• Microloans and savings groups,

• Business planning support,

• Financial literacy training,

• Partnerships with ethical financial institutions.

These resources enable participants to invest in their future and build resilience against economic shocks.

​

🌍 Promoting Gender Equality and Social Inclusion

We prioritize the inclusion of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups. Our work is rooted in dignity, equity, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive economically.

​

📈 Resilience and Long-Term Impact

By equipping individuals with the tools to earn a dignified income, the UNWA Livelihoods Program fosters self-reliance, strengthens families, and fuels long-term community development. The impact extends beyond individuals to entire communities, creating ripple effects of economic resilience and hope.

Success Stories

From rural artisans launching their first product lines to young women leading tech-enabled businesses, the stories emerging from our program inspire and show what’s possible with the right support.
