Women's day: Umida, Vijaya... women at the heart of ACTED projects
To celebrate International Women's Day this March 8, 2011, ACTED takes a look back at the pathways of women who now enjoy income-generating activities or health services that should contribute to the improvement of their existence, and their place in society.
Umida and her daughter, who fled Kyrgyzstan, now earn an income by making jam.
Vijaya was trained to entrepreneurship and got a loan, which enabled her to set up a very profitable grocery store in her village in Sri Lanka.
