Programmes overview

Our programmes for women, children, and youth.

(AWE) e.V. works through five interconnected programmes that respond to real needs identified by women, children, and communities. Each programme has its own focus, but they all share a commitment to protection, dignity, and opportunity.

This page gives a snapshot of each programme. From here, you can click through to more detailed descriptions, project stories, and ways to get involved.

Connected work

How our programmes reinforce one another.

Rather than stand-alone projects, (AWE) e.V. programmes are designed to overlap. This allows support for women, children, and youth to be more consistent and responsive over time.

Cross-cutting priorities

  • Safety and protection for women, children, and youth.
  • Participation of people with lived experience in shaping programmes.
  • Attention to mental health and psychosocial wellbeing.
  • Strengthening community-led initiatives and leadership.
  • Building bridges between work in Africa and in the diaspora.

From programmes to projects

Each programme is made concrete through specific projects. Project pages give more detail on locations, partners, activities, and outcomes.

For example, a single project might bring together Sunshine Kids and Pride of a Woman, offering activities for children alongside spaces for mothers and caregivers.
