Independent (Gift Mikandu)

Interested in working with vulnerable women in supporting them by advocating for them aas well capacity building them. To provide knowledge and skills to help them suppet their families. Research has indicated that most women spend more time in unpaid care work and hence are less involved in more lucrative activities. However, if more women were involved in economic activities they too would contribute positively to the attainment of the 2030 SDGs. I would like to collaborate with other organizations that would considerfunding facilities such as criches, nurseries and safe children's playing facilities where such women can work and earn something on an exchange basis as well as engage in other income generating activities that would be of benefit to them and their families. I believe this could also contribute to reducing gender based violence against these women from their husbands in a highly patriarchal society. The inequalities currently existing between the women and men in our communities would also be reduced.
