Our Projects
!The Salesforce course for mothers has successfully concluded
20 women, mothers, most of them single, who came from diverse professional backgrounds, seized the opportunity given to them and chose to make a career change for themselves and their families.
Thanks to the collaboration with the nonprofit organization Tech-Career, the intensive five-month tech course was specially tailored to the needs of the women, providing them with tools and a new profession in a rapidly evolving job market.
On May 9th, the 20 women, accompanied by their families, gathered for an emotional graduation ceremony. Since then, several have already started working in the field.
The Ethiopian Women Empowerment Association wishes all of them the best of luck.
