Women are at the heart of every community. Yet in many parts of South Sudan, women face serious challenges, including limited access to education, unequal opportunities in the workforce and high levels of gender based violence.
At Anika Foundation, we believe that empowering women leads to healthier families, stronger communities and lasting change.
Our programmes help women:
+ Access vocational and entrepreneurial training
+ Join savings and loan groups
+ Participate in community leadership and decision making
+ Gain knowledge on health, nutrition and rights
We also raise awareness on gender equality and support women in breaking social and economic barriers. We help women discover their potential and lift their communities by creating safe spaces and building confidence.
