Women Empowerment

Women’s empowerment is critical for society and the Armenian Fund for Sustainable Development(AF4SD). It is especially true for women whose husbands were killed or severely wounded during the 2020 war.

The creation of income-generating activity or vocational training need funding, but the investment is worthwhile because it ensures their self-sufficiency and power of decision.

The AF4SD launched the vulnerable women empowerment project after the humanitarian aid phase. With the crucial support of  AAAS, the Australian Government, Saint Sarkis Charity Trust and the Arev Society we put in place a social and economic reintegration program for vulnerable women. Through vocational training and small business creation, the project ensures the sustainability of assistance.

In 2022 18 income-generating activities and 18 vocation tranings have been organized. In 2023, 34 more small businesses were created and 37 more vocational trainings were financed.

The Arev Society provided management support for the implmentation and reporting of these projects.
