WOMEN ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
The CMI Women’s Economic Empowerment Program includes an outreach initiative that supports vulnerable women in need, helping create lasting change within the community. Through the Concern Mission Team, financial assistance is provided—via local pastors—to women with the potential to start small businesses. This support enables them to engage in petty trading, operate small restaurants, and pursue other income-generating activities independently.
Women play a vital role in the ongoing programs of Concern Mission. Their involvement can be seen across Africa, including their volunteer efforts in distributing food to the poor and hungry at designated distribution centers. The Women’s Economic Empowerment Program (WEEP) encourages women to actively participate in mission-related activities, including mentoring and ministering to young girls. The program focuses on raising awareness about social and health concerns, as well as addressing the physical, emotional, social, moral, mental, and spiritual challenges facing young girls and women—particularly in Africa, but also around the world.
CMI Women Economic Empowerment in Liberia
In Liberia, and Ghana, indigenous ministries help local Christians start small businesses to provide for their families and establish a place for themselves in communities that would otherwise reject them.
CMI Sponsored Women in Apenticeship in Ghana
In poverty-stricken regions where illiteracy is high, indigenous missionaries open schools. They help pull women out of the soul-killing work of prostitution by teaching them a vocational skill such as sewing.
CMI Women's Economic Empowerment Program has an outreach project as part of its activities and reaches out to vulnerable women who are in need, making a lasting difference in the community. Financial assistance is made available by the Concern Mission Team through the local pastors and is given to potential business women to engage in petty trades, such as selling, and operating a small restaurant business on their own.
Women are a vital part of the ongoing programs of Concern Mission. Their total involvement can be felt across the landscape of Africa, including helping the Concern mission team during voluntary food distribution to the poor and hungry people at specific distribution centers. Concern Mission's Women Economic Empowerment Program ("WEEP") encourages women to participate in mission-related activities, mentoring and ministering to young girls, about social health concerns and other physical, emotional, social, moral, mental, and spiritual issues affecting young girls, and women in General., especially in Africa and around the world.

CMI Sponsored workshop Women in Ghana
Every March, June, and October, CMI sponsors conferences and workshops focused on Women’s Economic Empowerment in the United States, Africa, and Asia. From June 26 to July 3, 2024 a major conference was held in Ghana, bringing together pastors, counselors, missionaries, and community leaders from across the country to discuss and promote healthy living.
These conferences provide women with opportunities to engage in meaningful discussions, attend inspiring keynote sessions, and participate in interactive workshops. With your support, we can continue to address the challenges faced by less fortunate women and create new opportunities that help shape a brighter future for women around the world
CMI Sponsored Adult Literacy Program in Nigeria
Illiteracy rates in Africa—particularly in Nigeria—remain very high. This challenge contributes significantly to unemployment, low life expectancy, corruption, inadequate working conditions, and slow economic growth. Hunger is widespread, with more than 60% of the population unable to afford three meals a day. The lack of access to quality education has also fueled conflict and injustice across the region.
Concern Mission is partnering with pastors to provide adult and non-formal education for low-literate adults, establish community libraries, and organize social programs for older adults (aged 40 and above) at Family of God Ministry.
Women Transforming Communities
The Mission of the Women’s Ministry is to address the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of women. We want to assist women in connecting and developing godly bonds with other women. Our aim is to equip and encourage every woman to grow and mature spiritually, personally, and in her devotion to Christ. We endeavor to be a source of encouraging inspiration for one another through wholesome gatherings and church activities.
