From Uplifting Women by MGA, we facilitated this partnership and collaboration between the XtraOrdinary Women organization and the Chavita Foods company, where all parties co-created what became the Sweet Dreams Program. The program’s objective was to develop practical training spaces step by step in the preparation of typical Nicaraguan seasonal sweets, where women would be able to acquire knowledge through learning, allowing them to generate sources of income and helping them start their own businesses from their homes.
Seeing first-hand the evolution of the participants is a reminder that when we open these spaces and opportunities to women, not only are they transformed, but their entire environment is impacted. If you want to learn more about them, the thematic content of the workshops, identified barriers, coping actions, sales results, exports and achievements obtained, you can see it in our final Sweet Dreams program report here.
