We cater specifically to the needs of vulnerable women, whose lives are full of hardship due to poor and impoverished home environments.
We are developing a handcraft business from recycled materials with the aim to give them income generating skills, as well as to increase confidence and self esteem.

Help
We struggle due to lack of knowledge with structure, organization and planning. Anyone with these skills would be a great support to us. At this moment we have produced many crafts for sale but haven't been able to develop a marketing strategy so this is stifling our growth.
If anyone has knowledge or experience with crafts from recycled materials that could help us develop our range of product and skills it would be great.
We have 3 sewing machine and in the past was able to pay for training. Now we are relying on the knowledge they have acquired. So anyone with sewing knowledge or skills would be of great benefit to help develop.
We would love to be able to offer more in the area of woman's mental health and reproductive health.
In the area of childrens education we need someone with painting and decorating in the school.
