Core Areas of Work
Women Empowerment
EFC believes that women are central to a community’s progress. Their women empowerment programs are designed to increase women's confidence and participation in decision-making. The NGO facilitates leadership workshops, peer support groups, and awareness campaigns that educate women on their rights, gender equality, and leadership skills.We encourage women to take on leadership roles in local governance and community activities.Environmental Sustainability

The NGO promotes financial independence for women by supporting them in starting and growing small-scale businesses. This includes providing access to microfinance and offering mentorship programs.EFC also works to establish women-led cooperatives in sectors like handicrafts, agriculture, and local food production, helping them to expand their market reach and increase their income. Skill development in financial literacy and entrepreneurship helps women manage their finances, expand their businesses, and increase their bargaining power within households and communities.Health and Well-being
