What we do

Three steps from loss to a livelihood.

Each programme hands a family on to the next — until she no longer needs us.

  1. Three women take measurements and pin a garment together in a workshop.
    Step 1 · Support

    Adopt a Child Initiative

    A child's education, uninterrupted by loss.

    • Tuition, books, uniform, and exam fees
    • Paid to the school each term
    • Pre-school through college
    Learn more
  2. Four women in work coats stand together at a bench making beaded jewellery during a training session.
    Step 2 · Skill

    Skills Acquisition Program

    Seven trades. A skill she can build a living on.

    • Seven marketable trades
    • 8–12 weeks of hands-on training
    • A starter kit at graduation
    Learn more
  3. A trader stands at her stall beside a weighing scale, looking directly at the camera.
    Step 3 · Independence

    Seed Initiative

    Start-up capital that turns a new skill into income.

    • Start-up capital, released in stages
    • No collateral or credit history needed
    • A year of monthly mentoring

How it fits together

One family, one journey

The programmes aren't separate services. They're one path, taken in order, with the same people beside her the whole way.

  1. From the start

    Her children stay in school

    Sponsorship covers school fees, so the family's future isn't the first thing lost.

  2. Over 8–12 weeks

    She learns a trade

    Hands-on training in a cohort of women who understand what she's been through.

  3. The year after

    She opens for business

    Seed capital buys her first stock or equipment, with a mentor meeting her every month.

  4. Then

    She stands on her own

    An income of her own, children in school — and often, a mentor for the next woman.

Support the whole journey.

A monthly gift funds every step — school, training, and seed capital.
