At the Changde Women’s and Children’s Development Center in Hunan Province, China, women are gathering to transform their lives. Free community classes are bringing together women of all ages and backgrounds to learn new skills, gain confidence, and shape brighter futures.
From young mothers attending family education workshops to grandmothers exploring the art of calligraphy, the center offers a variety of courses designed to empower women. Classes in tea art, floral arrangement, and handcrafted creations not only teach practical skills but also foster personal growth and economic independence.
“I never imagined I could learn so much at my age,” says Li Mei, a 60-year-old participant in the tea art class. “These classes have given me a new sense of purpose and community.”
The smiles and focused expressions seen in the classrooms reflect a shared journey toward self-improvement. By providing these opportunities, the Changde Women’s and Children’s Development Center is playing a vital role in uplifting women and strengthening the community.
Through education and empowerment, these women are building a future where their voices are heard, and their talents are valued.
