Aglow's Women Training School

A network of caring and praying women dedicated to promoting the welfare and caring of women and teenage girls.

Aglow International with its caring nature has recognized that the family nucleus of which the women is the centre needs to be nurtured and encouraged to provide the needed support for the family. It is a well-accepted fact that if a child is trained from infancy she will not depart from it when she grows. This has led to the realization that the girl child is an important part of the growing process and therefore needs to be trained while she is young. Many of these girls were unable to complete their education due to poverty, neglect, disability, teenage pregnancy, HIV, etc. 

Aglow has the welfare of these teenage girls at heart and it is the desire of the Aglow Ministry to offer support to them through the establishment of a vocational centre.
