Women of Dignity Project

Empowering Women, Transforming Communities

Project Information

In Ethiopia, Ghana, and Liberia, many women face barriers that keep them from reaching their potential. Poverty, limited access to resources, and lack of training opportunities leave women without the tools they need to provide for their families or contribute fully to their communities. Without support, many women remain stuck in cycles of vulnerability and exclusion. To change this, NCM is partnering with local Nazarene churches to invest in programs that strengthen women’s economic empowerment across Africa. In Ethiopia, up to 400 women will gain access to business services, resources, and training to expand their income and leadership opportunities. In Ghana, women are gathering in community groups to learn leadership, financial management, and practical skills like soap making, tailoring, and computer literacy. In Liberia, vocational centers are equipping hundreds of women with marketable trades, business skills, and savings groups that restore confidence and create long-term stability. Together, these initiatives provide dignity, independence, and hope for women who long for a better future. Your giving helps women to gain skills, build businesses, and confidently support their families. With your partnership, women are becoming leaders, providers, and agents of transformation in their communities.

Investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a direct path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth. Women make enormous contributions to economies, whether in businesses, on farms, as entrepreneurs or employees or by doing unpaid care work at home.

Particularly in Africa, gender-responsive services, production resources, markets in agriculture, industry and trade would enhance economic empowerment of women and youth extensively. African countries need to adopt and implement regional and national plans, legislations, policies, strategies, budgets and justice mechanisms in order to strengthen women’s economic empowerment.

Through regional and national interventions, NCM Ethiopia aims to empower up to 400 women to increase income, build assets, wealth and business leadership. The project will facilitate women’s access to productive resources and business services by addressing policy and regulatory barriers and promote women’s active participation in and benefit from the extractive industry, agriculture, trade and building women’s and youth’s agribusiness and entrepreneurship skills across the value chain.
