Why this centre matters
Many women with disabilities and caregivers of children with developmental delays face structural barriers that limit economic participation. This centre responds with practical skills, accessible infrastructure, and a complete livelihood pathway.
Problem Statement
Limited employment opportunities
Access to dignified and flexible jobs remains very low for vulnerable women.

Economic exclusion often leads to reduced confidence, visibility, and community participation.
Lack of training and startup access
Entrepreneurial knowledge, market entry support, and startup pathways are often unavailable.

To establish a comprehensive empowerment resource centre that enables women with disabilities and mothers of children with developmental delays to become financially independent through enterprise development, collective organization, and sustained market access.
