nsidered that women with disabilities do not need these opportunities. Uneducated and unemployed women with disabilities are easily trapped in poverty.HOW: Trainings and peer support increase the self-esteem of the women and their activeness in society. Po
sitive attitudinal change towards women with disabilities in the society has an impact on the parents of the disabled women as well and more women have an opportunity to educate themselves. The project benefits women with disabilities who are supported to 
set up their own enterprise and provided opportunities to support themselves.PARTNER ORGANISATION: The project is implemented by Ethiopian Women With Disability National Association (EWDNA).
