MCARE helped me gain practical skills and start my own small business. Before the training, I had no direction, but now I can support my family with dignity. Their support changed my future.
For the first time, an organisation listened to our stories and included us in decision-making. MCARE’s research and training empowered our women’s group to advocate for our rights and access new opportunities.
When floods destroyed our homes, MCARE was among the first to arrive. They supported us with emergency relief and helped us rebuild safely. Their team treated us with respect and stood with our community.
