Improvement of living standards

Currently, there are two major centers in the capital, housing the displaced women. Despite the constant overcrowding and the large logistic effort all women asking for help will be housed. The accommodation is simple with no privacy. The women usually have no contact with their families and little prospect of a life outside of the centers. Most women remain in the centers until their deaths. In a country where poverty and malnutrition are the most common problems, already the supply of a single meal a day is a challenge.

Literacy classes

Most women in rural areas have no access to scholar education. This is a great disadvantage to their every day life. In order to help them becoming more independent self-confident and and to offer them opportunities, the association Woo-Laa offers the interested women in the help centers literacy classes.

Rabbit breeding

Currently, the center Paspanga is supported in building a rabbit breeding, and some of the women are being trained in rabbit keeping. Some meat will be used for the womens nutrition and parts of the income can be used for the womens depenses.
As the population is afraid of the women, it is difficult for them to sell their products. Woo-Laa procures regular customers and business contacts for them.

Care for the family

Woo-Laa establishes the contact to the children and families of the expulsed women and seeks an exchange with them. Without the mother the family is economically weakened and often can't afford the school fees for the children any more. That's why Woo-Laa finances for the scholar education of the children.

Medical care

When arriving in the help centres the women are often weakend and/or beaten. But also during their stay the centres need to guarantee medical supply. The association Woo-Laa supports the centres Paspanga and Pabré.
