Amakon Women Empowerment Inc., is a Registered Charity focused on promoting women’s success by providing disadvantaged and racialized women and girls access to success enhancing tools. Amakon Women Empowerment focuses on 4 main areas to empower women.
1 We provide computer access to at-risk, pregnant and parenting High School girls who lack computer access at home for their learning and school as
signments. To this end, we work with 2 High Schools in Regina (Cornwall Alternative School and the Shirley Schneider Support Centre of Balfour Collegiate) to provide the at-risk, pregnant and parenting girls there with laptop access for their school assignments and learning. Such access enhances their ability to remain and complete high school.
2 We provide free computer skills training for disadvantaged women and female New Comers to Canada, who want to return or enhance their employability, but can not afford the fees at for-profit computer classes.
3 We promote good mental health for Seniors by teaching them how to increase their social network through the use of Social Media.
4 We provide pertinent empowering information and resources on many topics of interest to women at our free Online Noon-hour Seminars, on the last Wednesday of every month.
