Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>ExxonMobil Moc\u0327ambique, Limitada in partnership with the MASC Foundation announce their women empowerment initiatives in Palma, \u201cWanawake Movement\u201d (women in swahili) and \u201cKuinua\u201d (uplifting communities in Swahili).<\/p>\n

The livelihood restorations initiatives, Wanawake Movement and Kuinua, focus on economic empowerment of women and girls affected by the conflict in Palma district through craftmanship. These initiatives will support beneficiaries by improving leadership skills, craft skills, economic opportunities, business management skills and women\u2019s product offerings. The programs will also enhance the capabilities of women to participate in peace building initiatives within their communities by transforming them into peace ambassadors.<\/p>\n

The main objective of the Wanawake Movement is to ensure better livelihoods and resilience of women against the effects of conflict and climate by means of the capulana, a fabric ingrained in Mozambican culture and used in Mozambican households. Wanawake Movement intends to reach 1000 direct female beneficiaries in Palma District.<\/p>\n

Kuinua initiative will support women through craft production, using traditional weaving, to create sustainable livelihood sources among girls and women IDPs and host communities. 50 groups, totaling 250 women and girls, will be the direct beneficiaries of this initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur experience has proven that by empowering women you strengthen not only their family, but also their community.\u201d Said Arne Gibbs, General Manager for ExxonMobil Moc\u0327ambique, Limitada. \u201cWe are committed to women empowerment by supporting initiatives that generate income, and ultimately support the development and prosperity of Mozambican communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joa\u0303o Pereira, Executive Director of the MASC Foundation shares: \u201cMASC Foundation\u2019s mission is to contribute to a better Mozambique. We pledge to support and empower the most marginalized groups, particularly youth and women to overcome political and economic barriers. Through this partnership we are assisting, and will continue to assist, these groups\u201d.<\/p>\n
