PROGRAM STRATEGY

WISE programs are designed to provide holistic services to survivors of violence. We integrate counseling, medical, financial and other support services with advocacy, training, capacity building and mentoring. Our objective is to empower our clients to take control of their lives and transform the institutional and societal structures which propagate the cycle of violence. The WISE strategy addresses immediate challenges while also focusing on transforming the future.

1. RESPOND: The WISE-UP program focuses on strengthening and expanding existing counseling and support services, training and development of service providers, research and advocacy, networking and collaboration and organizational capacity building.

2. EMPOWER ECONOMICALLY The Women's Economic Empowerment and Development (WEED) is a pilot program to promote economic independence for survivors. Our approach integrates counseling, micro-credit schemes, skills training, and public advocacy to the ultimate goal of empowerment.

3. PREVENT WISE Institute for Empowerment and Leadership Development (WIELD) is a program is designed to prepare, promote, and support African women and girls in achieving leadership positions within business and politics. The initiative is aimed at bringing greater visibility and equality to African women by improving their knowledge and skills, along with helping them gain the experience and exposure needed to obtain leadership positions.
