Enhancing women’s lives through health education and economic empowerment
Empowering Women
WHAE believes that women are essential to the advancement of a society. The goal of WHAE is to empower local unit women to become independent productive members of society, and reach middle-class status. Since its founding in 2011, WHAE has been successfully engaging local unit and community women with their personal health and economic development in eight areas of Ethiopia. WHAE holds that it is critical to ensure that local unit members continue their path to becoming economically independent and learn about their rights to meet their challenges.
our PHILOSOPHY
We firmly believe that healthy women, who are aware of and capable of meeting their needs, are the foundation of a healthy and economically sustainable society.
