In the past couple of months, Brave Hearts have been working alongside external experts and the local government in order to provide weekly training sessions for 6 of the women guardians for children supported by the foundation, the majority of whom have been orphaned. They have received support in their chosen business initiatives in the form of management training, market assessment and training in savings and credit methods. Strong foundations are being laid for the future careers of the women involved!

The need to care for their children, limited jobs, poor access to health care and the prevalence of girls not receiving education means that securing employment is a challenge faced by many women.

2016 has been off to a flying start, and the organisation is filled with positivity and a strong sense of community. The garden continues to flourish and many of the children take responsibility for tending to the fruits and vegetables – with the promise of tucking into some yummy home grown snacks at the end of the day!
