Basic House Wiring Training for Women

WFN is continuously working to find ways to empower women so they can take their true place in society.

Consequently they only can find low paying jobs like cleaning, doing house chores for another, knitting, in short work that requires no specific skills. Their long hours doesn’t even generate respect nor a decent salary and as a result women have no self esteem.
