Empowerment
First Initiative: 5 girls were trained in tailoring and sewing machines were supplied. They have since then stitched 198 sets of uniforms for all the children.
Our students are exploring a market for cloth bags to replace plastic bags. Once it is done these girls will be assisted in producing cloth bags for the market.
