economic EMPOWERMENT
One of our founding beliefs is the importance of women’s economic empowerment to drive Kolahun’s economic future. Women in the community have revived the traditional strip weaving of Liberia, dating back centuries. A multi-generational cooperative of women earn their livelihood by weaving. Their product can be marketed globally enabling them to feed their families and send their children to school. We are supporting these entrepreneurs through business skills and microfinance training, and savings and loan workshops in order to better manage their personal finances. Moreover, we offer business skills and microfinance training; savings and loan workshops help them manage their personal finances.
