Pig Project

Our Pig Project is designed to provide families with a sustainable source of income. We offer free piglets to selected families. As these pigs grow and produce their first litter, the piglets are collected and given to new families. The original family retains the remaining benefits from the pigs, allowing them to generate income, pay school fees, and cover other essential needs.

Sewing Project

Our Sewing Project empowers girls who are unable to continue or complete their education by providing them with valuable sewing skills. This initiative helps them become self-employed in the future, offering a path to financial independence and stability.

Girl Child Support

We are committed to supporting girls by providing sanitary pads through schools and community programs. Many girls face challenges during their menstrual periods, leading to school absenteeism or the use of unsanitary alternatives. Our support aims to improve their well-being and educational attendance.

Opportunities include teaching English in schools, providing swimming and computer lessons, and participating in building and construction projects.
