Women's Program
Our dream was to develop a Women’s Program and provide a place for women to learn how to take care of their babies, learn life skills, be listened to, be loved and hear God’s word – our dream became a reality as we developed the Women’s Center.
The Things that we provide:
- Faith based health care, prenatal education, child development, nutrition and childbirth assistance
- Vocational training (sewing, nanny training, fish harvesting and bread baking)
- Basic education skills giving them the tools to better financially support and care for their families
- Training programs that provide an outlet for the women to sell their items
Current Programs:
- Pre-Natal Class – This class meets once a week with pregnant women to provide prenatal care.
- Once a woman gives birth, they can enter the Early Childhood Development Class: This class provides education on caring for their newborn babies and other children in the family. Each woman and her child can stay in this class for one year.
- Literacy Class: This class meets three times a week to teach Creole reading and writing and lasts for about four months. It is a pre-requisite to our Sewing Class.
- Sewing Class: This six month class teaches women how to sew and run a business.
