DESCRIPTION
Faraja Young Women Development Organization (FAYOWODO) is a registered NGO. We offer temporary residence, education and vocational training to young single mothers and girls below the age of 18 years. These girls have suffered from early pregnancy, forced early marriage, human trafficking, poverty, abuse, and a lack of education. Our objective is to train these young women in different vocational fields to empower them for employment and self-reliant projects.
