WOW programme empowers women leaders in community activites 21 Apr 2021 / 07:55 H. Pix for representational purpose only.
KUALA LUMPUR: A leadership skills programme organised by non-governmental organisation Women of Will (WOW) has proven to be a blessing in empowering women leaders to overcome problems faced by B40 families during the crippling Covid-19 pandemic.
Norliza Buhori from the People’s Housing Project (PPR) community in Ukay Indah in Selangor, along with 34 women from 10 PPRs in the Klang Valley, realised that as women leaders, it was crucial to keep the line of communication open during the movement control order.
This came in handy in communicating with third parties who had to come in to assist B40 communities in PPRs during the MCO and adhering to strict lockdown conditions, she said in a statement yesterday.
