The Social Charity Fund (SCF) in collaboration with the Nafisa Shams Academy for Arts and Crafts have announced the reopening of applications to the 2nd phase of the women’s empowerment initiative.
Aimed at providing training and empowerment to 200 Saudi women beneficiaries of social welfare or special needs support, the program covers an array of training courses, including tailoring, embroidery, flower arranging and decoupage. Each course comprises introductory workshops, such as: The basics of art and design; tailoring and embroidery; social media marketing; business models; skills development; and counseling for trainees. Upon completion of the course, participants benefit from enhanced entrepreneurship skills and a deepened understanding of the pillars of successful entrepreneurship projects.
Recognizing an important element of a strong society, this initiative highlights the importance of increasing women’s participation in the job market, and ensuring they are financially independent and socially empowered.
