Poverty Alleviation Through Vocational Training

HOPE’s strategy for long term women’s empowerment is twofold: education and vocational training.

It is vividly recognized that women's empowerment is essential for sustainable economic growth and reduction of poverty in developing countries.

We begin at a grassroots level in underserved communities and methodically use strategies to eliminate the barriers to education children (especially females) face in Pakistan.

After obtaining a solid education, young adults are guided into vocational training programs that prepare them for the private sector, entrepreneurship opportunities, or careers with HOPE.

In the fight against poverty, HOPE has established vocational facilities in six underserved areas in Pakistan.
These vocational centers provide skills development opportunities to young women and men in textile design, computer literacy and English proficiency.
Particular emphasis is placed upon training females to promote economic empowerment.
In 2017, a total of 1,360 students completed vocational training at HOPE’s vocational centers and 80 percent of those students were females.
