Women's Groups...

…The glue that holds it all together…

Women work...

together to deal with many of the challenges that the community faces, from child-rearing to food production, a lot of responsibilities fall on their shoulders. Raising orphaned and abandoned children usually becomes their burden so the women’s groups work together on income generating activities like raising chickens or catering events like weddings to provide a collective fund for micro-finance.

Traditional Crafts...

…are also produced for income but finding markets for these crafts have been difficult. When a woman can no longer work in the gardens she can make baskets and mats and still be productive. New Village Alliance is working to support their efforts by adding donations to their micro finance funds and by assisting with finding markets. We have also provided glasses to make their work easier.
