ProChapina offers a variety of professional training education programs to women, especially single mothers, to help them gain essential skills, professionalism, and technique that they can transfer into the work force. Additionally, ProChapina aims to combat extreme poverty and social vulnerability by assisting families with housing, housing projects, childcare, and trainings.
A collaborative environment
ProChapina is partnering with the UW-Whitewater Enactus Chapter to spread awareness, market, and help fundraise for the organization’s goals and programs.

But here's the catch – they need our help to keep the flame alive. UW-Whitewater Enactus is collaborating with ProChapina to further develop and jumpstart product production and workshops. With your help, ProChapina will receive the support they need to hit the ground running in their mission.
