To us at MZWO, Human Rights education means much more than safety, equality, justice, rights and dignity of rural women but also include livelihoods training as well as overcoming the basic needs of life such as provision of portable drinking water, sanitation, hygiene and environmental education. Our extensive findings confirm that economically empowered women are better able to tackle domestic violence and also lead others out of this traumatic problem better than less economically endowed women. Consequently, MZWO will continue to transform the socially and economically disadvantaged women and girls into productive members of society thru entrepreneurship training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
To improve the lives of women and Youths in marginalized rural communities through education, health, economic empowerment and social amenities. This is made possible through training in income generating activities, ensuring economic self-reliance and empowerment for the rural poor and the provision of water, sanitation, hygiene and environmental education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Human Rights Education is integrated in all our educational programs. Though independent of each other, the two departments operate interdependently. There is a board chair, a vice, general secretary, financial secretary, marketing and public image, legal and projects and general matters. The Projects Director heads the administrative set up, assisted by two other specialist volunteer officers for WASH and livelihoods development who coordinate and oversee projects in their respective areas of specialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Our goal is therefore to promote Human Rights, sustainable livelihoods and good health. <\/p>\n\n\n MZWO will continue to transform the socially and economically disadvantaged women, girls and youths into productive members of society thru entrepreneurship training.<\/p>\n\n\n The Projects Director heads the administrative set up, assisted by two other specialist volunteer officers for WASH and livelihoods development <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-34","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108,"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34\/revisions\/108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mountziongh.org\/mzion\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}CAPACITY & SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS<\/h2>\n\n
