An integrated approach to household empowerment (PISCCA 1 and 2)

Project Overview and Objectives
This project introduced a holistic model combining knowledge-building, economic empowerment, and psychosocial wellbeing. After years of working with mothers, N4ED recognized that true empowerment cannot occur when gender-based violence (GBV) persists. Supported by the Embassy of France in Ethiopia, the project fully integrated GBV prevention and response into our core programming, aiming to create safer, more resilient households.

Target Audience / Beneficiaries
The project directly supported 225 vulnerable families in low-income communities of Addis Ababa, while also reaching broader populations through public awareness.

Methodology / Approach
Through direct support, community outreach, and integration with existing N4ED programs, the initiative addressed GBV, shared key information, and strengthened referral systems for survivors.

Impact / Expected Outcomes
The project enhanced family wellbeing, improved GBV awareness, and built lasting support networks for past, present, and future beneficiaries.
