What gives hope to women struggling in poverty? “Reaching for the Future” is a program that provides the necessary elements for single moms to prepare for a future that is different from their past. This collaborative project combines self-awareness, language and communication skills, workplace readiness assessment, on-the-job training, career placement or mentoring, decision-making (leadership), and supportive communities. In general, women learn best from other women. They need to know they are not alone in the struggles of everyday life. LA MUJER OBRERA (‘The Working Woman’) in El Paso, Texas, provides language and micro-enterprise training. It is unique in the USA for its bilingual, integrated approach to study-skills preparation and serves at least 150 women each year. THE ENTERPRISING KITCHEN (TEK) in Chicago, Illinois, combines on-the job training in a personal care item manufacturing and mail-order operation, along with personal counseling for career development. TEK accepts court referrals and helps at least 60 women break the cycle of self-defeat each year. In Wichita, Kansas, WOMEN'S INITATIVE NETWORK (WIN) specializes in education, job training and life-skill training to help women survivors of domestic violence gain self sufficiency and become a contributing citizen.
