Empowering Unemployed Namibian Women

A Revolution in Skill Development and Financial Independence

As you soar through the skies, consider the transformative power of opportunity. Women at Work, also known as W@W, is not just an organisation but a catalyst for monumental change. Registered under section 21 of the Companies Act and the National Welfare Act of 1965, this organisation has a compelling vision: to revolutionise the lives of unemployed Namibian women, including those who could not complete school for various reasons, through skill development and employment.

We invite you to journey with us as we explore the transformative courses reshaping Namibian women's lives. From dressmaking to literacy programmes, these initiatives are not merely transforming individual lives; they are changing the fabric of entire communities.

TAILOR YOUR FUTURE: BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED DRESSMAKING PROGRAMMES

Sewing is not simply a craft but a gateway to financial independence. Our dressmaking programmes start with foundational skills, equipping participants to master the basics of sewing. For those who wish to further their expertise, our advanced courses introduce the intricacies of commercial pattern cutting. In Namibia, garment making is not just a pastime; it is a viable avenue for self-employment and financial stability.

UNLOCK POTENTIAL: COACH A CHILD TO READ SKILLS PROGRAMME

Imagine altering the course of a child's life through the gift of literacy. Our Coach a Child to Read Skills Programme offers a dual benefit. Participants acquire a marketable skill and lay the educational foundation for early learners. By imparting basic reading skills, we set the stage for a lifetime of educational achievement.

A SECOND CHANCE: THE NEW BEGINNING PROGRAMME

Reintegration into society is a formidable challenge for women on parole. We offer the New Beginning Programme in collaboration with the Windhoek Correctional Facility under the Ministry of Safety and Security. This initiative dismantles societal prejudices and offers these women a fresh start through a customised dressmaking course. With the generous backing of First National Bank Namibia, this programme is set to transform lives for an entire year.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

While we offer a lifeline to many, the scope of what we can achieve is amplified by community involvement. If the stories you have read resonate with you, consider extending your impact beyond these pages. Whether it is contributing to our cause or sponsoring a student, your support could be the catalyst for someone's new beginning.

With Women at Work, empowerment is not just a word; it is a way of life.

We express our sincere appreciation to all our donors and will acknowledge your contribution on our website and publications.
