Empowering Women and Children

Even among the poorest of the poor, the women of the developing world are lower still. By any measure, they are the most oppressed people on earth.
Because a woman is often marginalized due to a lack of marketable skills, helping her develop a vocation makes an immediate impact on her life and the well-being of her entire family.
our partners uplift women by giving them the education they never had, offering the vocational training they need, and teaching them basics in health and hygiene. But we also invest in their leadership potential outside the home, giving them training that develops character and equips them to be effective leaders and sharers of the Gospel in their own right.
The truth is, when you invest in the lives of women and their children, you help transform nations.

Many Christian women in the areas where we work, though believers for many years, have never been told they have a significant and unique role to play in the Kingdom of God. They are requesting basic leadership training to be fruitful in service within the family of faith. "I am eager to understand my strengths and my weaknesses, so that I can serve the women leaders of Indonesia, empowering them to serve and train women in their circle of influence also," said one trainee. Leadership development courses focused on character and ministry skill will take place in Sudan, Nepal, and North Africa in the coming year.
Sadly, many women around the world, even in the Church, are often relegated to second-class status. In too many congregations, women have no one to disciple them, and their potential as transmitters of the Gospel goes largely untapped. Our ministry partners understand the power of women to further the Kingdom on a grassroots level and are working to equip women to be effective church planters and evangelists.
Because of poverty, girls around the world miss out on education and vocational training opportunities. Yet, when they grow up they are also the ones most concerned for their family's development and living standard.
Women in rural areas of the Third World have little or no access to health care. Most have not received training in basic nutrition and hygiene, yet they are the primary health and nutrition providers for their families.
Because serving women is inextricably linked to serving their children, this initiative includes programs dedicated to helping children as well through education, evangelism, and other means. In many impoverished, unreached regions of the world, schools are non-existent or extremely sub-standard. Teachers are few, poorly paid and under qualified, and poor families cannot afford the school fees, uniforms and other supplies required to send their children to school. That's why Partners International supports many school projects around the world. Over the years, we have learned that there is no greater inroad into the hearts and minds of unreached people groups than providing their children with access to education.
