Since the inception of Women’s Empowerment (WE), 1,576 women have graduated and 3,720 children have gone through the program.

Session 75 for Women’s Empowerment will be wrapping up this week with graduation on Friday 6/14. We would like to congratulate the 16 new graduates for all their hard work and wish them success in their next endeavor.  

On behalf of the SAHRA Board, we want to thank the SAHRA members for their involvement with Women’s Empowerment. We have had numerous donations from our members over the last few months and want to thank Pacific Staffing for matching an anonymous donation of diapers, baby wipes and healthy snacks. The SAHRA Boards also appreciates your dedication to volunteering for the workshops and WE events.
