Over ninety female soldiers during World War II joined a particular initiative
Title: Empowering Yakutian Women Warriors: A Journey of Self-Reliance and Growth
In the heart of Yakutia, a transformative initiative dubbed "Self-Support and Self-Development" has brought together an impressive array of over 90 fearless women, hailing from 23 diverse regions of the republic. This groundbreaking project, unveiled at a recent briefing by Alexei Alexandrov, head of the regional branch of the "Patriots of the Fatherland" fund, promises to empower these women warriors.
Stretching from December of last year to May of this year, these courageous women tackled a rigorous program designed to inspire personal growth and guide their careers. The program encompassed four educational modules, psychologist consultations, job fairs, and social project development - equipping them with the tools necessary to thrive.
Furthering this initiative, fund specialists, collaborating with the "My Business" center and the Ministry of Economy of Yakutia, embarked on a unique educational project named "SVO's Own Business | 14". Participants, comprising 20 veterans of combat actions and their family members, engaged in intensive training over five days before presenting their innovative business ideas to a panel of experts. Successful participants were rewarded with grants to kickstart their entrepreneurial ventures.
This week, a Unified Day of Employment for SVO Participants took place, attracting 19 Yakutia employers who collectively offered over 200 job opportunities to special operation veterans.
A notable event highlighted this week was the "Patriots of the Fatherland Cup" - a collaborative effort between the branch, the Ministry of Sports of Yakutia, the Russian Paralympic Committee's branch, the regional association of combat actions veterans, and DOSAAF. Forty veterans from 15 districts and Yakutsk city showcased their skills in six sports, with the winners set to represent Yakutia in the interregional stage of the Cup, slated for July in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The interregional stage of the Cup will feature competitions in sports knife throwing, powerlifting, pistol shooting, archery, table tennis, and sitting volleyball.
While comprehensive data about this specific project is scarce, the impact it has on these women and their community cannot be overlooked. This project serves as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the potential for women warriors to transform their lives and contribute meaningfully to society. Empowering these women not only bolsters their self-confidence but also fosters a culture of self-reliance and resilience in Yakutia.
Engaging in a program that focuses on education-and-self-development and career-development, participants of the "Self-Support and Self-Development" initiative worked towards their personal growth, stretching from December of last year to May of this year. This transformation was exemplified further in the unique educational project "SVO's Own Business | 14," which merged the principles of personal growth with the opportunity to pursue sports, as successful participants developed innovative business ideas and represented their sports talents in the "Patriots of the Fatherland Cup."
