Women Empowerment Programme
The Apcom Educational and Cultural Development Society has been dedicated to uplifting women and children from its inception. Recognizing that economic advancement is pivotal for those in need, the focus has consistently been on empowering women and children. Rural individuals were encouraged to participate in various skill development programmes, enabling them to generate income for their families and attain self-sufficiency.
