As part of the Community Project for the Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis, a pastry training was held in Benguela in January 2025, aimed at empowering young women from the Bancadas area by developing practical entrepreneurship skills.

Throughout the training, participants acquired vocational skills that can generate sustainable income and improve their living conditions. In addition to technical skills, the activity included awareness sessions on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, enhancing the girls’ knowledge on prevention, care, and access to treatment.

This initiative demonstrates how integrating health education with economic empowerment can promote female empowerment and contribute to more informed and resilient communities.
