Seed Women

Employment training for Nahua indigenous women to contribute to women's economic empowerment in Zongolica, Veracruz.

What is the project about?

The Seed Women project, designed in collaboration with La Casa de la Mujer Indígena, ICHIKAHUALISTLI SIHUAME A.C. (translation from Nahuatl – the strength of women -) seeks to economically empower Nahua women from Zongolica, Veracruz, providing job training and certified financial education validated by the Secretary of Public Education, allowing them to have their own income that contributes to their family economy.

Courses will be taught by the Veracruz Training Institute for Work at two community venues, where we will equip classrooms with materials to ensure a quality educational experience.

The economic empowerment of women is essential in advancing the fight against the various forms of violence they face daily, because when a woman thrives, her entire community flourishes.
