The Center provides a way for secondary school graduates and other young adults to develop locally needed trade skills specifically in (1) carpentry, (2) snack/food production and (3) the making of reusable menstrual pads to be distributed in secondary schools and sold in local markets. The menstrual pad program, Wings for Confident Women, encourages better female school attendance and participation in society. At year-end 2024, the first steps were taken to add a Computer Training and Services component to the Center. 16166 Secondary school support:EdPowerment continued to provide extra support to targeted underserved and minimally-resourced secondary schools. Seminars teach critical study skills, demonstrate best practice test-taking strategies, and otherwise promote a positive approach to learning. Saturday Boys and Girls Clubs engage students in sports, arts and games, while offering practical lessons in local income-producing agricultural, product-based, or service-based activities. Women's Small Business Group:EdPowerment continues to coach and assist a group of 20 women who joined together in a soap-producing and selling enterprise.
