In Sri Lanka, low-income women face tremendous barriers in accessing the vocational education necessary for lifting themselves and their families out of poverty. This women’s education project with BGR partner the Centre for Women’s Research (CENWOR) will support approximately 75 low-income female students who are enrolled in technical education programs at vocational training centers. These women qualify for tuition-free education, but many are unable to afford to pay for their room and board, required uniforms, and other ancillary costs. This project will provide the women with stipends to pay for their food and other needs while they are learning the technical skills needed for employment in their chosen fields. The project will support 75 women in gaining the skills and qualifications needed for middle and higher technical employment. Existing partner, new project
