Through our Academy the Funcomas Foundation trains hundreds of women every year in technical trades that provide them with basic tools to sustain their lives and / or those of their families.

And complementary training in topics such as: Gender Equality and Equity, Health and Physical Well-being, Personal Finance, Small Business Finance, Principles of Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Self-Management.

Challenge

According to the data of ONE (2016), of the 2,233, 850 women of reproductive age of the age group of 15 to 49 years, 420,150 are adolescents between 15 and 19 years. This figure represents 18% of the total. 71% of teenage mothers have only one child and only 29% have between two and four children. There are many young women and single mothers who suffer complications to access a source of formal employment due to their precarious living conditions and lack of training.

Long-Term Impact

With the labor insertion of around 200 women per year, around 500 employees will be impacted. Raising the quality of life of families and energizing the economic productivity of impacted communities.
