PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Second chance aims at turning around the lives of women who either are divorcees, Widows or simply single mothers faced with the herculean task of raising their children but have no source of livelihood to do so. They don’t have any profession to lean on despite having bright academic backgrounds. These women are many but this project targets between age 25 to 40. They lack social support and are left on their own, usurping their dignity as human beings. They feel so depressed despite deep inside their hearts they know that they aren’t academically handicapped. Giving these women a second chance will bring life into their lives and with it the ripple effect that comes with empowering a woman. It will change them, their families, community and the entire nation at large
Project Objectives
- 1. To empower the women aged between 25 - 40 through agribusiness
- 2. To build the self esteem of these women
- 3. To reduce the vulnerability of these women to sexually transmitted diseases and other vices in the community
ABOUT ARCADIA HOMES INTERNATIONAL CBO
African caregivers and parents, experiences and outcomes of raising or caring for mentally retarded persons are worse, because of, poverty and poor living conditions in Africa. In addition to other challenges, these families have been reported to have high rates of single parenthood, child-headed households, fatherlessness, alcohol abuse and domestic violence. Our vision is to be committed to the wellness of these mentally retarded persons, their families and the community through enhanced home based care, empowering these families through agribusiness education.
