The Alternative Livelihood Program provides opportunities that address medium-term concerns and needs of the women who come to DAWN, with DAWN’s Social services ensuring a secure line of hope.

As the women gradually rebuild their lives, they regain and strengthen their sense of dignity and self-worth by actively participating in productive activities, that are designed to open doors to economic opportunities and hopefully, sustainable sources of alternative livelihood.

In order to free up alternative livelihoods opportunities for women members, networking and tapping potential providers of alternative livelihood is integral to DAWN’s Alternative Livelihood Program.

The components of our Alternative Livelihood Program are designed to develop productivity skills of interested women, along with entrepreneurial and managerial skills.

Above all, our Alternative Livelihood Program is designed to strengthen the sense of community and belongingness of the women and the rest of the DAWN family.
