Name:

Kala Women's Center

Location:

Kala Refugee Camp, Zambia

Category:

Women's

Budget:

$2885 (see details)

Goal:

To provide skills and education to the women of the Kala community so that they can better provide for and protect themselves and their families.

As of December 1, 2009, FORGE is no longer working in Kala Refugee Camp. Thus, FORGE is no longer accepting funds for this project.

The women in Kala Refugee Camp face many daunting challenges. Though they are typically seen as the providers of their families, they enjoy very few resources and opportunities to expand their abilities. Additionally, they are often met with violence and disparagement even from men within their own families. However, the women of the Kala Women's Center believe in the capacity of Kala's women to address many of the large-scale problems that face the camp. The programs run through the Kala Women's Center provide the community's women with opportunities to take control over their own health, economic situations, and empowerment - capacities they find invaluable both in their life in the camp and in their future back home.
