Scheer Foundation Launches Initiative to Support and Empower Women in Africa

Scheer Foundation to set up safe centers in Africa to support women, victim of abuses in war conflict zone and also from domestic violence.

BOZEMAN, MONTANA, UNITES STATES, March 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — In honor of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, the Scheer Foundation proudly announces a groundbreaking initiative to establish centers across Africa dedicated to supporting women affected by domestic and war-related abuses. The inaugural center will open in Zambia in 2024 marking the start of a broader campaign to expand into various countries where the Foundation is active.

These centers aim to provide a sanctuary for women, offering them a chance to rebuild their lives in an environment filled with love, security, and happiness. Women will have access to a range of socio-economic activities and essential medical care, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery and empowerment.

For nearly two decades, the Scheer Foundation has made significant strides in Africa, focusing on child welfare and combating malnutrition by ensuring children’s access to food. “Expanding our efforts to assist women directly correlates with our ongoing mission,” states Frederic Scheer, Chairman of the Foundation. “Addressing the plight of abused and victimized women is crucial, as their well-being directly impacts the children. In the modern world, any form of violence against women, from physical to emotional abuse, is utterly unacceptable.”

As a modestly sized organization, the Scheer Foundation hopes its initiative will inspire further action and support, transcending borders to address a global issue. “This challenge knows no bounds and affects every nation, from France to the United States and beyond,” Scheer remarks. “We call on everyone to join us in envisioning a future where every person, starting with women and children, is treated with the utmost respect.”

Through this initiative, the Scheer Foundation reiterates its commitment to creating a world where women can live free from fear and oppression, underlining the importance of collective efforts in fostering a society that values the dignity and rights of all its members starting with children and women.
