Lari Sub-County Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) chairperson Florence Wambui has encouraged women in the area to apply for government funds and tenders.
Addressing them during a sensitisation forum at Lari town on Monday, Wambui said that women have an opportunity to better their lives through the Uwezo fund and other government tenders.
“Women should come out and seek the funds and tenders being provided by the county and the national government,” said Wambui.
The MYWO chair stated that poverty and other social economic challenges facing the area would end if only the women grabbed the empowerment opportunities being offered. She also urged women to sign up for empowerment programmes being initiated by the national and the county government.
She further pledged to spearhead the welfare and interests of the women in the area.
