A significant donation of vocational equipment has been delivered to The Salvation Army’s Women’s Action Group Programme, marking a milestone in a 15-year collaborative effort between international Rotary clubs. The contribution, made possible through the sustained partnership of the Rotary Club of Antigua, the Bellvue Breakfast Rotary Club, and the Rotary Club of Kirkland Downtown, is designed to transform vocational training and economic prospects for participating women.
The newly provided equipment will substantially upgrade the program’s instructional capabilities, enabling enhanced hands-on learning experiences. This infrastructure boost supports creative skill development and establishes stronger pathways toward economic self-sufficiency for women in the program. The donation represents more than material support—it embodies Rotary’s enduring commitment to international cooperation and community-driven development initiatives.
Representatives from the Rotary Club of Antigua emphasized that their contribution highlights the organization’s dedicated focus on women’s empowerment and sustainable community growth. ‘This donation reflects our core belief in supporting initiatives that foster lasting change within families and communities,’ a spokesperson noted.
The Salvation Army’s program provides comprehensive training and support services specifically designed to equip women with practical, marketable skills. This enhanced technical capacity will directly improve participants’ ability to develop sustainable livelihoods and achieve greater economic independence, creating ripple effects that benefit entire communities.
