Le'lswa Project - For Her

At the heart of this program is the creation of a safe, nurturing home — a family-like

environment where young women not only find shelter but also the care, mentorship, and

opportunities they need to thrive. Implemented by Chosen Generation with support

from Making the Grade: Hope for African Youth, the project integrates housing,

education, healthcare, and leadership development into a holistic journey of

transformation.

To break cycles of poverty and inequality by equipping vulnerable young women with the

skills, resources, and confidence to become independent leaders and agents of change —

building on the legacy of Gojjo, Yeneta, and Esther Projects.

• Safe Housing (Gojjo): Secure, fully furnished homes that provide safety, stability, and a family-like environment.
• Education Support (Yeneta): Scholarships, tutoring, and academic mentorship to unlock academic excellence.
• Empowerment Training (Esther): Leadership, financial literacy, and advocacy workshops to build confidence and voice.
• Healthcare Services: Comprehensive medical care, counseling, and wellness programs.
• Career Development: Internships, job placements, and seed funding for entrepreneurship.
• Alumni Network : A growing community of graduates committed to mentoring and community projects.

In Ethiopia, only 30% of young women complete secondary education, and many face

barriers such as poverty, lack of safe housing, and social pressures. By combining the

strengths of Gojjo, Yeneta, and Esther, this project provides a holistic solution that

nurtures dignity, independence, and leadership in the next generation of women.
