Why SELF started
We believe that empowerment starts from the individual. As a smart, resourceful, and self-sufficient individual, our woman finds her inner strength to give to a larger community.
SELF started as an acronym for Sustaining Employability of Low-income women and Families. We aspire to enable women to have a stable and secure job that would allow their families and themselves to thrive.
We started with the goal of enabling women to become more independent by sharing the knowledge needed for them to make better decisions in their day-to-day life. We realised that not every woman has a community or support network that they can turn to for help. This was especially critical for our women who faced uniquely challenging situations that cannot be readily addressed. Our resource portal is designed to enable our women to share knowledge with each other, and seek support from the community where needed.
