22-1-2018
The Future Movement Women’s Sector in Central Beqaa concluded on Saturday an entrepreneurship training workshop in partnership with Sawa Association for Development and In Place of War (IPOW) organization affiliated with the University of Manchester. The one-month course aims at empowering women socially and economically, as well as, build their capacities to enter the labor market and promote their undertakings, according to Sector’s coordinator Nahed Madi. Participants submitted their projects to be shortlisted by the University of Manchester, while certificates will be distributed at a later stage. Concurrently, the Lebanese Association for Studies and Training (LOST) also ended the second stage of the ‘Empowering Women to Lead 2’ project in Baalbaq. On the occasion, LOST founder Rami Lakkis, drew attention to the poor participation of women in public affairs, stressing the importance of programs targeting this marginalized segment of society. He considered that women’s involvement in development activities contributes to the enhancement of public life and the building of a better future for children and the community as a whole. Similarly, the beneficiaries presented their experiences, challenges and achievements, expounding the impact of the project and trainings in shaping their personalities and boosting their self-confidence, expanding their knowledge in public affairs and strengthening their social contribution where they can have a greater role in the accountability of municipalities and the implementation of community undertakings. The above initiative included the execution of 8 developmental and community services in 8 villages in Baalbaq-Hermel region, namely, Baalbaq, Yunin, Shlifa, Bednayel, Taraya, Hermel, Al Ain and Arsal.
