Trainings that change lives!

In 2009 I paid a  for a couple training sessions for 2 young girls.   The training taught  them to make paper beads and other jewelry.   Paying the young girls fairly for their work,  I purchased the products.  I mark the products up a small amount and sell them in the US at craft sales.   This year with the savings  from the project and with a small investment from me ; the young girls opened  a retail business in their village.
They have been in business for a little over a month. they are earning enough  to pay the rent for the retail business, pay their taxes and earn an income.
