WOMEN IN ACTION
The Women in Action projects aim to help women set up and develop their own small business in the sewing sector. The women receive a 6-month sewing and sewing course and a 6-month training course in entrepreneurship.
There follows an “incubation” period, in which they receive individual support to start their own micro-businesses: Access to sewing machines, help opening a bank account, marketing assistance, or even just moral support.
The first project Women in Action started in Caxito in 2015, followed by Cazenga in 2016 and Cabinda in 2017. Since then, several projects have opened in Luanda (Zango II and Estalagem) and Benguela
