Tailoring School Building Construction - Making Steady Progress

Update: We are working towards expanding opportunities with a partner organization, Door of Hope.  Together we are constructing a new tailoring school building.  Construction is well under way and we have bought boards, sand and cement ready for the completion of the building. We hope to roof the building in the coming months.  A photo showing part of the building is below.

Empowering for the Marketplace: Computer Proficiency Training Helps Beneficiary Get a Job

We are delighted to share with you a brief thank you video clip from Kumba, one of the computer training beneficiaries.  Prior to the training, Kumba did not have the computer skills / proficiency required for getting her desired job. She had received the needed training for her field, but lacked the computer proficiency needed.

Meet Mary - A Microfinance Beneficiary

Madam Mary R. is a single parent and she struggles to feed and educate her three children (2 boys, 1 girl),one in the university and two in high school. In addition to her three children Mary also has two wards. The responsibility of her family including school costs of books, school fees, uniforms, etc. rests squarely on Mary. She gets occasional assistance from her sister, but this is not enough to meet the daily needs of her family. Though a civil servant (a third grade clerk) Mary’s salary, which is less than $100 a month is pitifully insufficient to maintain her family.
