  • Program 1 [2021]

    ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM (EE): THE EE PROGRAM SEEKS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL STABILITY AND ECONOMIC SECURITY TO SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FROM THE SOUTH ASIAN DIASPORA. SAKHI RECOGNIZED EARLY ON THE CLOSE LINKS BETWEEN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ECONOMIC CONTROL AS WELL AS SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE CHOICES THAT ENABLE SAFETY FOR WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES. REALIZING THE NEED FOR SERVICES AIMED AT IMPROVING SURVIVORS' ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, SAKHI HAS PROVIDED SKILLS-ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES SINCE THE MID-1990S UNDER THE BANNER OF THE ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROJECT. IN 2001, OUR EFFORTS WERE FORMALIZED UNDER THE ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM. WE CURRENTLY PROVIDE CASE MANAGEMENT, WORKSHOPS AND TRAININGS, AND SCHOLARSHIPS TO WOMEN SO THAT THEY CAN ACCESS PUBLIC BENEFITS, JOBS, CREDIT, BANKING, AND OTHER FORMS OF SUPPORT SO THAT THEY CAN REACH THEIR GOALS OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SAFETY.
