Women Empowerment Program

As we have done annually, COFP carried-out another one-week intensive skill acquisition training on pastries, bakery and industrial production for the internally displaced women in Shuwari IDP camp, Maiduguri Borno state.

The program ran for one full week from 13th to 20th October 2019 with a total number of 57 women from Christian and Muslim religious backgrounds. The training was timely as it provided the opportunity for the IDP women to learn skills that would help them financially and lift their families out of abject poverty. Rather than just providing food and other relief materials for the IDP women and their families, COFP provided the women with vocational skills and starter kits to enable them start their small scale businesses after the training for easy beginning.
