🌟 Supportive Monitoring Visit to Wotean SHG Federation in Hawassa, Sidama Region

Hawassa, Ethiopia – May 22, 2025

CoSAP, in collaboration with KNH Regional Mentor Wro Sinafikish, conducted a supportive monitoring visit to the Wotean Self-Help Group (SHG) Federation based in Hawassa, Sidama Region. The visit aimed to strengthen existing initiatives and explore areas for further growth and impact.

The Wotean Federation shared its inspiring journey, which began with just four Cluster Level Associations (CLAs) under the support of JeCCDO. Today, the Federation has expanded significantly, bringing together 12 CLAs and serving over 10,000 households in the region. It has grown into a vital platform that uplifts and empowers women, girls, and children who have endured severe life challenges in Hawassa and surrounding communities.

The monitoring team commended the Federation for its remarkable progress and community impact. As a way forward, the following key recommendations were provided:

  1. Strengthen internal linkages between constituent SHGs and CLAs for better coordination and communication.

  2. Update and implement a time-bound action plan with a clear budget to guide future activities.

  3. Leverage social media and storytelling tools—such as a documentary video—to showcase their achievements and inspire wider support.

  4. Explore digital financial service options to enhance financial inclusion and sustainability for SHG members.

 

CoSAP and KNH reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Wotean Federation in scaling its impact and strengthening grassroots development through the SHG approach.

MoU Signing Ceremony Between CoSAP and Leyu(ለዩ) -  product by iCog(https://icogacc.com/)

📢✨ Creating Job Opportunities Through Ethical Language Data Collection!

We are excited to announce our partnership with Leyu(ለዩ). This collaboration is driven by a shared mission: to create new earning avenues for members of SHGs while expanding the collection of high-quality language datasets for low-resource languages.

Through this partnership, we are bridging the gap by offering meaningful work in ethical language data collection by participating SHG women and YFLs. This initiative ensures that local languages are better represented in AI while offering a reliable source of income to communities typically excluded from the digital economy. 

Together, we will provide innovation and social impact can go hand in hand. As we work with SHGs, we are enhancing the quality of AI-driven language data and helping build a future where diverse voices shape technological advancements and drive meaningful change in communities.
