In countries such as ours, women have been held back, estranged and distanced from a working lifestyle due to their lack of a basic education and preparation. This is why we feel there is an urgent need to stimulate and help women prepare themselves professionally so they can generate income for their homes with dignity and elevate their self-esteem, which currently is low.

It is worth noting that most of the women are single, abandoned by the fathers of their children, and they receive no help from them to cover the most urgent needs at home. This means many of them are obligated to abandon their small children during the day in order to generate the income needed to feed them daily. This reality is sad and due to their lack of preparation and the low salaries they receive, and although they make great efforts, it is impossible to cover all of their family's basic needs.With the country's development in mind, we want rural, indigenous and urban women to become protagonists. Currently the status of women is lower than that of men because women are not prepared for such a role. We believe an urgent priority is to contribute to their education so this will in turn benefit the well being of the family, the community and the country.

Therefore, with the cooperation of foreigners and nationals of good will, we have been able to implement five (5) Trade Schools where literacy, beauty, sewing, shoemaking, leather goods workshop, and housekeeping are taught to women.
