Jwaneng Women Turn To Cooperatives

JWANENG- Unemployment remains high especially in women and the girl child who are vulnerable to abuse by their counterparts.

In Jwaneng, women have turned to cooperatives where they empower each other with business skills. The programme, referred to as Community Women in Cooperative (CWiC), a brainchild of the Member of Parliament for Jwaneng/ Mabutsane Shawn Ntlhaile, has brought together women in business to evaluate how they can merge their efforts to contribute to the economy.The initiative aims to strengthen future women cooperative leaders, with the believe that they can serve as a powerful channel through which life winning socio-economic benefits could be achieved by Batswana women.

The programme is a developmental programme that seeks to rally women across communities in Jwaneng/Mabutsane constituency through training and equipping them with knowledge, skills  and ability to be able to drive the cooperatives campaign and impact on the lives of grass roots women and families.
