Our Projects
The main aims of our projects are to assist refugee women in helping their families; make them self-sufficient in accessing economic opportunities; as well as offering educational opportunities in all forms - trainings, leadership development, workshops, and learnership.
- Adult literacy
This project is aimed at teaching refugee women and girls how to speak and write English.
Language barriers are a crucial factor in a refugee's life and determine how easily one is integrated into the new community, and can interact with locals.
Overcoming this will help many refugee women and girls to communicate and further their study formally and informally.
It will help break the walls of xenophobia in our community. Computer programmes will also be implemented with the aim of providing sufficient skills that are in demand in the 21st century's economic market.
- Arts training
The arts project is aimed at creating a platform of economic opportunities for women.
They are taught how to start an SMME in any area that they show proficiency.
The course helps the women to look after their children and family.
- Leadership workshops
Women Across Borders will be hosting workshops and training days that vary in topics - for example - family planning; women and sexuality; how to save money; HIV and AIDS prevention methods; etc.
Participants may be of mixed gender depending on the topics. Each workshop lasts for two days and participant age range is from 20 – 30 years.
