Thanks, NK ********************************************************************************************** Council of Women: Tambul-Nebilyer is the first electorate in Western Highlands to establish a Council of Women. Women’s groups from various areas in the district came together and launched this council. The council aims to empower women, advocate for their rights, and address issues such as violence against women. Martha Timbil serves as the president, leading efforts to uplift women in the region1. Daily Activities: These women are actively involved in their communities. They contribute to family life, participate in local events, and engage in communal activities. Their days are filled with tasks like tending to gardens, fetching water, cooking, and caring for children and elders. Traditional practices, such as weaving and crafting, are also part of their daily routines. Sources of Income: Agriculture: Women play a crucial role in subsistence farming. They cultivate crops like sweet potatoes, taro, and bananas. Livestock: Rearing pigs and chickens provides additional income. Small Businesses: Some women venture into small-scale businesses, selling produce, handicrafts, or homemade goods at local markets. Council Initiatives: The newly formed Council of Women aims to support women in venturing into small to medium enterprises (SMEs). The district administration has pledged K5 million to empower women entrepreneurs2. Significance: These women are the backbone of their families and communities. They contribute not only economically but also socially and culturally. Their resilience, wisdom, and commitment to community well-being make them vital agents of positive change. Through their collective efforts, they strive to create a better future for themselves, their families, and the entire Tambul-Nebilyer District.
