Description
Our Vision: Blessons is a catalyst for transforming and empowering the lives of women who have a vision to succeed inspite of obstacles.
"When you're able to view painful lessons as blessings, they become blessons. Instead of getting back, GIVE back."- Founder, Blessons for Women
Our Values: We believe that: Women need to be treated with dignity, respect and honesty. Women deserve to be happy and healthy. Women should be empowered and self-sufficient. Women should explore and develop their spiritual side. Women deserve to learn and work together to develop their SOCIAL, SPIRITUAL and ECONOMIC POTENTIAL. Intercultural exchanges, break down stereotypes, expand horizons and raise consciousness. If you educate a Woman you educate a Family. Community is essential to personal growth and in fostering women as agents of change.
Regardless of background, study interests and skilled trade job requirements, there are Blessons Scholarship Awards available for women trying to re-enter or advance themselves in the job market by obtaining a higher education or new skill. We support women who are in need of financial support towards their continuing education and training in order to improve their economic status.
