Resume

Building on a successful CISU-supported partnership, Soroptimist International Copenhagen and St. Mariane Social-Educational Centre will equip 25 women in Ashtarak, Armenia, with the skills and confidence to become environmental leaders and active contributors to community development. Through practical training and community action, the women will identify local environmental challenges, develop solutions and engage residents and local authorities. A Women’s Initiative Group will provide a lasting platform for continued civic and environmental action, supported by St. Mariane beyond the project period. The project will also strengthen the Centre’s capacity to facilitate community-led initiatives, creating sustainable local impact. The project will directly reach 25 women and indirectly benefit around 165 family members and the wider community, ensuring that Voices of Women are not only heard, but become a lasting force for change.
