Providing training in lifesaving skills, assisting, lending, connecting families facing challenges in community people affected by disasters AWET’s livelihoods programs target children who are uniquely vulnerable to abuse such as those living without parental care. Children subjected to violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect are at risk of poor physical and mental health and in some instance death.

AWET believes that when women and children are empowered with skills and knowledge they thrive and take good care of their families since women form a greater part of a child’s primary socialization.
