At the Balanced Women Network, we are committed to empowering young women by providing them with the tools and opportunities to build successful futures. As part of this commitment, we organized a Skill Training Workshop focused on teaching bead making and makeup artistry. This workshop was designed not only to impart valuable skills but also to inspire and equip participants to turn these skills into thriving business ventures. By fostering entrepreneurship and self- reliance, we aimed to create pathways to financial independence and long-term success for these young women.
OUR FOCUS
The Skill Training Workshop was centered on providing young women with practical, hands-on training in bead making and makeup artistry. The goal was to offer participants the expertise needed to develop these creative skills into potential business opportunities. By focusing on these marketable trades, the workshop sought to empower young women to take control of their economic futures.
THE NEED
In many communities, young women face barriers to employment and entrepreneurship, often due to a lack of access to necessary training and resources. The Skill Training Workshop addressed this gap by offering specialized training in bead making and makeup artistry—skills with strong demand in the marketplace. The workshop not only equipped participants with the technical knowledge they needed but also encouraged them to consider how these skills could be transformed into sustainable business ventures.
THE IMPACT
Participants gained expertise in bead making and makeup artistry, enabling them to explore new career paths and income-generating opportunities.
Several young women who attended the workshop have since established themselves as professional makeup artists, successfully turning their training into profitable businesses and achieving financial independence.
The workshop empowered participants by providing them with the confidence and resources to pursue their passions. The success of those who have launched their own businesses serves as a powerful example for other young women in the community.
