One of the most successful projects was a training programme for women in prison to create an awareness of entrepreneurship to prepare and give hope for their exodus from prison. We received full cooperation from the prison officials. At the end of the training sessions, certificates were presented to the inmates. One women who we were monitoring has left prison and has started her business selling second-hand clothes. This has been recorded on video. |
