Mother's Club
What Is Mother's Club?
Mother’s Club allows women to attend educational sessions where they are trained in nutrition, health and hygiene, literacy, small-scale community agriculture, and craftsmanship/cooking.
How It Works
Participants who display consistent attendance receive a month’s worth of food to help supplement their diet at home. Not only does this provide incentive for women to come and learn, but it also helps Convoy of Hope address the nutritional deficiencies of children who are not enrolled in school. Caretakers, especially those who are pregnant, are provided vitamins for both themselves and their children.
Tracking Success
All of the participants’ children under five years of age are monitored through their Body Mass Index to strive toward a reduction in malnutrition and protect healthy development.
MicroPlus Program
What is Micro+?
Our Micro+ program equips women with financial education, vocational training, cooperative saving groups, and even startup capital.
How it Works
After receiving training and the distribution of capital for small business start-ups, women participate in income-generating activities as they launch their own small business.
Tracking Success
Every activity is monitored by Convoy of Hope staff to ensure support and success. At the onset of the program, all women engage in self-esteem building activities and are provided with education in basic literacy and numeracy, family health and nutrition, family planning, and the prevention of communicable disease (HIV in particular).
Girls Empowered
What is Empowered Girls?
Empowered Girls brings educational programs to schools and communities.
How it Works
Sessions include contextually appropriate topics such as self-esteem, gender-based violence, and harmful cultural beliefs and practices.
