Be Inspired
The Second Chance Education Programme
UN Women

The training, the knowledge, the self-control, knowing how to empower yourself, knowing how to fill in the gaps - that doesn't have a price.  

That stays in your mind and will guide you forever, you'll be empowered forever.

Areli's second chance
UN Women

My advice to other women would be, to give ourselves a chance, a second chance to keep walking, to keep going and to see that we can do it by ourselves, that we don't need anyone else to get ahead.

Trouble can come in everyone's life, but I would want to tell other women that just as we are working, similarly so can they.

Because all women have the right to a second chance.

Digital skills in Cameroon
UN Women

Being able to connect and having digital skills is very, very relevant for refugees and displaced women in Cameroon because it allows us to communicate and have other knowledge apart from what we may learn from word of mouth.

It actually opens our minds.

A second chance for displaced women in Cameroon
BONET

I am so, so grateful, I feel complete now, because my dream is to go to school.

So for this opportunity I want to say a big thank you. It’s a big blessing to me.

Precious Asongwe, SCE participant

Second Chance participants in Chile
UN Women

I always gave time to my children. I never focused on myself. 

The program has helped me, more than anything, to trust myself, to be able to move forward, to try to improve a little bit more.

To feel that one is capable, I think that is the fundamental learning priority of the program.
