ZAMEN

PROGRAMS & PROJECTS: 
Zaman’s programming is designed to realize a world where women and their children can break the cycle of poverty and self-direct their futures.

We are committed to filling in gaps of support, domestically and internationally, to provide hope and meet the essential needs common to all humankind. Our programs empower women to achieve the skills and training needed to pursue sustainable careers and employment opportunities.

From Crisis to Sustainability: The Zaman Client Journey: A woman who enters the Hope For Humanity Center embarks on a journey from crisis to stability, to sustainability that provides the opportunity to unlock her potential and overcome poverty while creating a more prosperous future for her family. One to two years after arriving at Zaman, the goal is for these women to have the income and confidence to overcome any remaining barriers and enter a work setting, establish a business, or pursue additional education. Reaching those goals empowers them to break the cycle of poverty using their own skills and talent.
