Female Prisoners Support Trust

As part of its women’s empowerment focus, Village Lift provided funding to FEMPRIST to implement 2 empowerment projects for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women. 

The horticulture project at Murehwa Prison provides a water tank for irrigation, tools, and seedlings while equipping women with agricultural and financial skills to improve well-being, nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods. 

A crochet empowerment project offers comprehensive training, including doily making, alongside a production and sales system to generate income and build confidence in these women.

Together, these projects promote rehabilitation, economic independence, social reintegration, and reduced recidivism.
