Kalerwe Market Women’s Training — Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities

The Institute for Social Transformation (IST) is excited to announce an upcoming training workshop for women vendors at Kalerwe Market — a continuation of our commitment to empowering grassroots women with practical skills and knowledge for sustainable livelihoods.

This interactive training will bring together women traders, market leaders, and community mobilizers for a day of learning, sharing, and empowerment. The IST team will facilitate sessions focused on:

• Financial literacy and business management
• Leadership and confidence building
• Gender awareness and community resilience
• Health, safety, and digital inclusion

Through this initiative, IST aims to strengthen the role of women as key economic actors within their communities — fostering confidence, cooperation, and lasting change at the marketplace level.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to engage, inspire, and support the women of Kalerwe Market on their journey toward greater empowerment and opportunity.
