Equipping vulnerable families with skills to earn, support children and break the poverty cycle.
Okoa promotes livelihood skills such as tailoring, baking, agriculture and small business management so that vulnerable mothers and youth can build self-reliant families.
Many vulnerable mothers and youth lack employable skills, business knowledge and startup tools. Without income, families struggle to pay school fees, buy food, access healthcare and protect children from poverty-related risks.
Okoa mobilizes trainers, training spaces, equipment, materials, micro-grants and startup kits for mothers, widows, guardians of orphans and youth. Training areas may include tailoring, baking, agriculture, crafts and small business management.
Reports should include the number of trainees, training type, support given, photos, beneficiary stories where consent is available and follow-up progress.
Skills support can help a mother earn income, keep children in school and build a more stable household.
