The Centre for Community Resilience and Advocacy Foundation (CCRAF) is committed to advancing women’s empowerment and gender justice through inclusive, rights-based, and evidence-informed interventions. We work with women and adolescent girls from underserved communities, particularly in urban informal settlements, to strengthen agency, leadership, and socio-economic participation.
Our programmes adopt a community-centred and psycho-educational approach, addressing structural barriers that limit women’s access to education, health, livelihoods, and decision-making spaces. By integrating mental well-being, legal awareness, life skills, and collective action, CCRAF supports women to navigate social challenges and exercise their rights with confidence and dignity.
Key Focus Areas
Psycho-social well-being: Mental health awareness, emotional resilience, and referral linkages.
Rights and entitlements: Awareness on gender rights, social protection schemes, and access to public services.
Life skills and leadership: Communication, decision-making, financial literacy, and community leadership.
Economic empowerment: Skill-building, livelihood orientation, and linkages to local opportunities.
Community advocacy: Strengthening women’s collectives to address gender-based discrimination and violence.
Through partnerships with local institutions, women’s collectives, and civil society organisations, CCRAF fosters sustainable pathways toward gender equity, enabling women not only to improve their own well-being but also to contribute actively to resilient families and inclusive communities.
