We train women to become economically independent through the above programs. The three-year training programs ends with an internship and job placement in a related establishment. We also help some women to set up their own business through our micro-business initiative. Savings Accounts are opened for students in order to assist them with developing their businesses. A sales department - New life Designs - markets goods produced by ladies in order to increase their revenue and at the same time boost up the activities of the Project.
In collaboration with the Government of Ivory Coast, precisely Ministry of Aids and pharmaceuticals in the United States of America, New Life Project goes into communities with high rates of poverty and commercial sex agents to give basic medical care, and treat sexually transmitted diseases, (STD's) and other illnesses, such as malaria. The Project has been engaged in HIV/AIDS, STD and drug awareness programs (prevention and care) among disadvantaged women. New Life Project truly believes drug-dependent women can overcome the illness of addiction. We educate economically disadvantaged women about STD awareness, especially HIV/AIDS, and provide them with useful steps to take through sexual abstinence, in order to help prevent the contact of sexually transmitted diseases. We empower women through the importance of goal-setting, dream-forecasting and critical thinking as a means of promoting sexual abstinence. In collaboration with Geneva Global Incorporation and the Ministry of Aids, on the spot HIV test are carried out during our campaign. Infected women are directed to organizations that are fully equipped to assist them whilst we continue to engage them in our educational activities
Clothing and food drive:
It is our duty to ensure that our ladies and in good shape - physically, emotionally, etc. Over the years, our students and their immediate families have benefited from our clothing (including shoes, bags, etc.) and food drive through various donations of used clothing from friends, relatives and organizations in the USA, Abidjan and Freetown. As part of our mission, we reach out with hot meals and provisions to communities, such as Yopougon, in Abidjan, showing the love of God to precious ladies who are in need. Through these programs many ladies have been enrolled in the project and there has been a tremendous change in their lives. It is our goal to expand our activities to more communities. We welcome donations of used items in order to accomplish this goal.
