I’m a mother of five from Masanafu Bukulungi. When I heard about this program, I was excited but assumed I would have to buy my own materials just like other programs I had tried and failed to continue. But here, everything is provided for free, from training to materials and even market access.
I chose basketry and hairdressing because having multiple skills means having multiple income streams. If no one buys a basket today, someone might need their hair done. Since joining, I have learned advanced basketry techniques like making decorative designs, dyeing, and color mixing using materials I can source freely.
In the next 6 to 12 months, I want my own clients and a steady income to support my children, save, and one day buy a house. To women out there, don’t hesitate. This is a free, life-changing opportunity. A skill is forever. Even in old age, you can still earn a living.”
