Resumen
Descripción
Launched in 2001 in response to the
plight of a faction of poor women - the widows of the
conflict in Aceh Province - the Women-Headed Household
Empowerment Program (PEKKA) has mushroomed into a
community-driven phenomenon across eight provinces that
shows all signs of continued, rapid growth. Emphasizing
vision, capacity building, networking, and advocacy for
those at the lowest end of the social scale - poor single
women heads of households - the PEKKA spark has become a
blaze that seemed ready to ignite a national movement. A
program that helps the individuals that most aid programs
pass over - widows and single women household heads, PEKKA
also seeks to embolden poor Indonesian women to take charge
of their lives and engage in the development cycle as a
cooperative bloc.lt;BRgt;
