Sustainable Livelihoods: How Vocational Training Transforms Women’s Lives
For many vulnerable women and girls, vocational training provides a pathway to financial independence. At SFI Rwanda, we offer skill-building programs in sewing, handcrafts, hairdressing, and computer literacy.
Why Vocational Training Matters
Traditional education may not be accessible for everyone. Vocational training offers:
- Practical skills for employment
- Entrepreneurship opportunities
- Economic independence
Our Training Programs
Our initiatives include:
- Sewing and tailoring classes
- Handcraft production
- Hairdressing and beauty skills
- Computer literacy courses
Each program is designed to give women the tools they need to generate income and support their families.
Impact and Success Stories
Many women have successfully started their own businesses after completing our training. Aline, a graduate of our handcraft program, now sells her handmade jewelry and accessories in local markets, providing financial stability for her family.
Conclusion
Vocational education is not just about acquiring skills—it’s about building confidence, fostering self-reliance, and creating sustainable economic opportunities for women in Rwanda.
