Most women are held
home by their husbands and not allowed to work because they are supposed to
stay home and take care of their children. These women do not have any skills
that can keep them busy at home and also earn them some money while at home. Lack of source of income is cause for unbalanced spouse relations and thus a cause of violence to the children.
to over come this challenge, on 26th August 2019 RIC-NET trained the women members of St Maria Goretti
women’s group in kisolholho village Karambi Sub County on how to
make baskets (carrions). This is done to empower women through skills training
to enable them to start up their own small businesses and earn
income hence improving their standards of living.
According to Mrs.Zeresi Baguma a member of this group said
they were very happy about this idea because they are learning new skills that
they will use for generations to earn income. The trainer hired by RIC-NET gave a theoratical sessions before embarking on the practicals where every woman followed suit step by step and after
some time they were weaving on their own with supervision from the trainer.
The
chairperson of the group thanked RICNET for always considering them when such opportunities
come up and encouraged RICNET to come more often because the people of
Kisolholho are quick learners and ready to adopt anything productive that comes
up.
The women were excited and left with the carrions they had
made to go and show their husbands what they have been doing the whole day.
