Gender Transformative Change for Women Sustainable Livelihoods (GTCWSL) empowers women and girls to break barriers to economic independence while challenging harmful gender norms within their communities. We promote skills development, access to resources, and inclusive decision-making, ensuring that women not only earn a livelihood but thrive with dignity and confidence. Through partnerships and community-driven initiatives, GTCWSL builds pathways for lasting change and resilient, gender-equal communities.

At Vulnerable Aid Organization (VAO), we believe every child deserves a safe, clean, and dignified environment to learn and grow. Our Schools Sanitation Program improves hygiene and sanitation facilities in underserved schools, ensuring that students, especially girls—can attend and stay in school without barriers.

We construct gender-sensitive toilets, provide handwashing stations, and deliver hygiene education to students, teachers, and communities. 

Through this program, VAO is not just building facilities; we are nurturing a culture of hygiene and dignity for children, creating healthier communities, and enabling students to focus on their education with confidence. Currently, four (4) toilet facilities are under construction in four different schools.

Join us in making schools safe, clean, and inclusive for every child!

We have begun constructing two water supply systems (boreholes) to provide water for drinking and irrigation. One borehole will support the Innovative Women Farmers Project, supplying water for irrigation to help women’s farming groups practice year-round farming. The second borehole will provide safe drinking water for students at the Brewaniase Roman Catholic Junior High School and nearby households, ensuring clean water access for the entire community.

This pathway of change is based on the assumption that to improve SRHR, a supportive socio-cultural, political, and legal environment, that protects young people’s rights and enables them to access SRHR information, education and services, free from stigma and discrimination, is essential.

Young people are best servants of themselves and therefore better positioned to identifying what they need and what they want as far as their SRHR is concern. They therefore hold the key to producing interventions that would best mitigate their SRHR challenges. Active involvement of all young people at every stage of the our Programme is required to get them adequately empowered to voice their rights and those of others, their ideas, connection, unique youthful expertise in SRHR intervention and active participation in the implementation of programmes developed.

We are constructing a three unit classroom block for the Brewaniase RC Junior High School. This project aims to address the urgent need for a classroom space to prevent any calamity and create a safe, conducive learning environment for students. Once completed, the new classrooms will provide children in the community with a comfortable place to learn, helping them stay in school and focus on their education. Thanks to the Loyola Foundation for the support!

As part of our Gender Transformative Change for Women Sustainable Livelihoods Program, we are introducing women to beekeeping as a sustainable and profitable livelihood. So far, thirty women have been trained and supported to establish their own beekeeping ventures, enabling them to generate income while contributing to environmental sustainability.

We are now expanding this project to additional communities, with the goal of reaching and empowering 80 more women.

We are seeking partners to join us in making this next phase a success. Together, we can create lasting opportunities for women to achieve economic independence and transform their communities.
