The program, which is funded by the US Embassy in Beirut and implemented by USPEaK in all Lebanese regions, comes within the framework of empowering women socially and economically. On the occasion, Sawa president, Nawal Mdallali, said the activity is part of a plan by the Association to develop the capacities of women, with special focus on the West Beqaa area, to help them provide for themselves and their households. The program, she explained, includes training workshops on issues especially targeting the Beqaa women. For her part, USPEaK director and founder, Rawan Yaghi, said the program aims at strengthening women within their community through education and job creation, and covers 150 hours of teaching English in addition to other cultural activities. Similarly, the mayor of Kamed el Loz, Ahmad Saleh Sati, praised the program, while sustaining his municipality’s support for women’s rights and its coordination with various parties to help them acquire the necessary skills to help the community.
