Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation Empowers 40 Women with Financial Literacy and Soap-Making Skills
The Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation, in collaboration with Rich-Oak Life Initiative, will on Thursday, January 30, 2025, train 40 selected women in financial literacy and soap making as part of its ongoing commitment to economic empowerment and poverty alleviation.
The training aims to equip the women with essential entrepreneurial skills, financial management knowledge, and sustainable income-generating opportunities. Additionally, in partnership with Stanbic IBTC Pensions Managers, the participating women will be enrolled in micro-pensions, ensuring their long-term financial security and resilience.
According to Mrs. Deborah El-Buba Atubi, the Executive Director of the Foundation, this initiative is designed to provide women with the necessary tools to become self-reliant and financially stable.
“Many of these women come from low-income backgrounds and struggle with financial independence. Through this training, we are not just teaching them a skill; we are empowering them to build sustainable businesses, manage their finances effectively, and secure their future through pension schemes. This intervention will significantly enhance their livelihoods, reduce economic dependency, and uplift entire households.”
This high-impact training is expected to improve the financial well-being of the beneficiaries by equipping them with knowledge of savings, budgeting, and investment strategies. The soap-making component will provide them with a cost-effective business opportunity, allowing them to generate consistent income, support their families, and contribute to their communities.
Beyond the training, the Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation will monitor and support the women to ensure they apply their new skills effectively, thereby fostering long-term economic transformation.
The Foundation remains committed to empowering women, alleviating poverty, and driving community development through skill acquisition, financial inclusion, and capacity-building programs.
