The Concept of Empowerment
Empowerment means to enable someone to have control over their own situation; to give someone the authority to do something. It is an economic and labour concept which also entails the impartation of labourial skills and sensitivity to an able-bodied, mentally-fit individual or group of individuals to enable them participate in the harnessing and distribution of economic and social resources for meaningful self-benefits and the improvement of society. Therefore to empower an individual means to train, educate, or cause him to acquire a means of livelihood or skill in order to enable him to live usefully and optimally in the society.
Empowerment Strategies

- Educating them: This entails giving them the needed basic education. This introduces them to life-coping skills and allows them the benefit of socializing with the world around them.
- Teaching them entrepreneurial skills: This involves training them on various trades, occupations and professions.
