ABOUT ALL WOMEN SPECIALAID (A.W.S.A)

​

ORIGIN:

​

ALL WOMEN SPECIALAID was born out of the work of two other women ministries, ALL WOMEN FOR JESUS MOVEMENT (AWFJEM) and WOMEN SPECIAL (WS), out of the challenge of providing a more Holistic Ministry to meet the peculiar needs of women.

As a non-profit making women's movement, we have a prime vision of a holistic ministry to help transform the lives of women from girl-child level and to meet their spiritual, social, material and physical needs. Having a heavy leaning towards rural communities and slum (deprived) settlements of the cities. 

​

OUR AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:

1.            To practice as a non-profit making NGO directed towards all women.

2.            To establish vocational schools, organize workshops and seminars to help train and impart skills to women and help raise the level                 of their economic power.

3.            To teach, train and encourage the women from the level of the girl-child to grow up to be 8 responsible and godly wife and mother.

4.            To help create awareness among women of their leadership role at the levels of the home, the church and society at large and to                       create avenues for teaching and training.

5.            To help set up crèches, nurseries and kindergartens to take care of babies and children of nursing mothers and fathers.

6.            To help needy local women to establish themselves into cooperative economic ventures.
