Epako Women's Center is a Community Empowerment Center constructed by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare of Namibia.

Epako Women's Centre is an establishment in Namibia meant to serve as a coordination hub for various activities with the potential to help rural and underserved urban communities advance on the socioeconomic ladder. It consists of offices, a community hall, training workshop rooms, a waiting room, a kitchen and ablutions facilities, which can be rented out at minimal rates.
