Moqah Foundation Training Program aims to equip women with the skills, knowledge and resources to become confident, self-reliant and active members of their communities. The organisation is now an implementing partner of a legacy project created by a donor to honor her aunt through a vocational training project, aimed at empowering underserved women through skills development. Underserved women, particularly those in low-income or rural areas, face significant barriers to employment and financial independence. Many lack access to formal education and professional training, which limits their ability to participate in the labor market. Vocational training presents a practical, scalable solution to bridge this gap by equipping women with in-demand skills.
The Vocational Training Center will be offering free 3-month courses in drafting, cutting, stitching and finishing. The courses are designed to impart not only technical skills but soft skills as well as entrepreneurship, leadership, communication skills and financial literacy. The initiative addresses systemic gender inequality, economic vulnerability, and lack of access to education and job opportunities among women in marginalized communities through skill-based training. Our objective is to create a sustainable, replicable model of community-based trainings with priority given to single mothers, widows, and women with disabilities.
This vocational training initiative represents a powerful opportunity to uplift marginalized women by equipping them with market-relevant skills and confidence needed to transform their lives. The program can create lasting social and economic impact by increasing employment and entrepreneurship opportunities and promoting gender equity and reducing poverty.
