KAF EMPOWERED WOMEN NETWORK 

Kingdom Acts Foundation (KAF) Women Empowerment Program (WEP) focuses on raising the status of women through education, awareness, literacy, and training. We aim to Equip and Empower women to make the right decisions as they go through different life challenges. The Women Empowerment Centre (W.E.C.) also supports women in our community who face domestic abuse, discrimination, child-rearing difficulties, and other social limitations. The goal of W.E.C. is to help the women in our community emerge through life challenges successfully while Evolving into bold, confident, secured and thriving women of purpose!

The Empowered Women Network/W.E.C. is strategically positioned to utilize and harness all talents, gifts and resources to build up women in the community. We intend to achieve these goals by pursuing the following objectives:

• Educating women about life issues such as relationships, finances/business, health and parenting, e.t.c, through our Empowerment workshops/seminars.
• Equipping our younger generations with life skills to grow and mature personally and professionally through mentorship and coaching (Young & Brave and B-Youthful program).
• Engaging women to support other women and children in the community that are hurting, women in shelters, homeless women, single mothers, e.t.c.

Women have the opportunity to network and connect with other women (H.O.P.E )
