IDF Welcomes Women on Women's DayPreparationThe theme for this year was“Equal Access to education, training, science and technology: Pathway to Decent Work for Women”. IDF is an organization which fully supports this ambition. IDF has been carrying out action research activities in the area of woman’s empowerment for many years. Some of its activities have included helping young adolescent mothers gain market and life skills to become contributing members of society and able to become financially self-sustaining, through a vocational training course. Women living with HIV and AIDS have also been supported through IDF’s work. Not only does IDF offer community health programs such as the home-based care program but IDF also offers a program in collaboration with the International Labor Organization to empower women living with HIV and AIDS. This program promotes entrepreneurship and mitigates poverty amongst women living with HIV/AIDS in Bamenda, Kumbo, Wum and Bali of the North West Region.IDF Team on Women's DayThe Theme for 2011This year IDF celebrated Women’s Day by participating in the Bamenda Parade as well as by carrying out awareness activities around its office.
