Livelihoods & Economic Empowerment
Economic independence is fundamental to breaking cycles of poverty and fostering sustainable development. The Service Women Relieve Center for Afghanistan (SWRCA) empowers vulnerable populations—particularly women and youth—by providing them with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to generate income and maintain sustainable livelihoods.
Key initiatives include:
-
Skills Training: SWRCA offers vocational and technical training in trades such as tailoring, weaving, carpentry, and information and communication technology (ICT), equipping participants with marketable skills for employment or entrepreneurship.
-
Small Business and Micro-Finance Support: We provide seed capital, micro-finance initiatives, and guidance to help individuals start and grow small businesses, fostering self-reliance and local economic development.
-
Entrepreneurship and Leadership Development: SWRCA promotes leadership, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial skills among women and youth, enabling them to take active roles in economic and community development.
-
Market Linkages: We facilitate connections between producers and markets, ensuring that beneficiaries can sell their products or services sustainably, thereby strengthening income stability and economic resilience.
Through these initiatives, SWRCA helps families achieve financial independence, reduces dependency on external assistance, and builds pathways toward long-term self-reliance and prosperity.
