Promoting the skills of single women
In view of the changed economic and labour market specific conditions, many women from the mother-child facilities and clients of the counselling centre of the St. Elisabeth Foundation have lost their hard-won employment. With the pilot project "Mamas Werkstatt", the foundation wants to accompany single mothers into independence through targeted, individual promotion of their skills.
Within the framework of temporary employment, single mothers are given the opportunity to improve their income situation. They learn how to make products for mother and child as well as important entrepreneurial skills in organising buying and selling. The result is a higher self-esteem and growing confidence in being able to cope well with future challenges.
The mamas make products that can be purchased by mamas. All products are sustainable, organic and made with love - and are now also available at SCHÖN&GUT.
