\n\nThese initiatives have led to the creation of 70 community savings groups, which help them access loans to set up micro-enterprises, build up their savings and increase their household income. \n\nThe project helps to regularise the situation of women and to legalise the land on which the most vulnerable live, by building homes that enable them to live in dignified conditions. \n\nThey also receive training in health and education, which is supplemented by the provision of healthcare kits and educational kits for their children.\n\nIn addition, workshops and training sessions on financial management and entrepreneurship are held, where participants receive specific training to enable each of them to draw up their own business plan, and they are provided with seed capital to put it into action. The training sessions also address issues such as inequality and cultural, educational and health-related factors that hinder their social participation and contribute to their vulnerable situation. In this way, they are equipped with the tools and strategies needed to tackle gender inequalities in their communities. \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c33f81 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9c33f81\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08c0a55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"08c0a55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Etiopia-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3101\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Etiopia-2.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Etiopia-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Etiopia-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca82741 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ca82741\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-326ebf5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"326ebf5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-624b2fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"624b2fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/35.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3099\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/35.jpg 700w, https:\/\/comsp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/35-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca7ab1e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ca7ab1e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-083a5dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-hfe-infocard\" data-id=\"083a5dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"hfe-infocard.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard-title-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hfe-infocard-title elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"infocard_title\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"basic\" >CLASSROOMS FOR HEALTH AND EQUALITY<\/h2>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard-text-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hfe-infocard-text elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"infocard_description\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\tThe project implements a comprehensive programme on health education and gender equality in four rural schools in the Meki area, benefiting a total of 3,813 pupils each year. \n\nIn addition, teachers and pupils are trained in first aid to deal with minor injuries or infections at school.
