SHE-LEADS project aims at promoting social entrepreneurship, cooperative model, and cooperative enterprise principals as effective approaches to overcome some of the social and economic challenges Palestinian refugees in Southern West Bank face on a daily basis, to support their socioeconomic conditions and to maximize their contributions to well-being and development for themselves and their communities.
The program aims to empower refugee women to sustainably take leading roles in their local communities through innovative and social entrepreneurship learning tools and skills advancing opportunities. Additionally, it will work on creating spaces and opportunities, by working with multiple key stakeholders, to support empowering women to contribute to sustainable change in their communities and to deepen their knowledge about the "cooperative movement” and the substitute solutions it provides and thus, maintaining the motivation for social change.
