We aim to improve entrepreneurial skills of the migrant women through online training so that they can lead a financially independent life.
I am the Executive Director of Dialogue Society, a registered charity focusing on building a more cohesive society and aiming to connect people through dialogue alongside running community projects.
We aim to improve entrepreneurial skills of the migrant women through online training so that they can lead a financially independent life.
I have started this fundraising campaign on behalf of my charity, Dialogue Society, to support economically inactive migrant women in our community.
The Covid-19 global pandemic has had devastating effects on recently arrived immigrants. Yet, the differentiated impact of the crisis on migrant and refugee women is immense. Employment rates for immigrant female workers have also dropped dramatically compared to previous years. Therefore, we wanted to offer a solution to the very problem by supporting over 25 unemployed migrant women during the COVID 19 crisis in terms of providing a series of online training run by professionals on how to be a successful entrepreneur (i.e. how to setup a company or how to work as a freelancer, how to run an online shop, how to sell on internet etc).
We will provide 2 initial intense days of training followed by weekly workshops over 6 months. We will have 1 trainer for 20 people. The training will be provided online while we aim to come together periodically depending on the latest Covid-19 restrictions.
I would be grateful if you could support my campaign and share the word about our project so that we can raise enough funding to launch the proposed service for disadvantaged members of our society.
