Millennium Fellowship Project: Project EmpowerHer
Project EmpowerHer is a humanitarian project based on Sustainable Development Goals number 5 which is based solely on Gender Equality. Project EmpowerHer aims to increase the employability skills of young women in universities. This would in turn prepare them for the labour market. This project also aims to put them at par with their male colleagues in the labour market.
Furthermore, project EmpowerHer seeks to educate women about their reproductive health, sexuality and wellbeing in general, to enable them make informed decisions regarding their bodies, sexual health and reproductive system.
