Hello everyone! it is that time again when we come back to you to share news from TAGS, Nairobi. As you already know, we shared that this year we have 2 candidates who are working very hard to attain good grades. So far, the results have been very encouraging and we continue wishing them the best as they put their best foot forward.
In this report we wish to share with you some of the work that is going on at the shelter, to promote learning, sustainability and income generation. In the first photo, a chicken rearing project is in the works with a 100 chicks which are being cared for by the girls as part of their learning. The project will provide eggs for the girls consumption while the rest will be sold to complement shelter income. In the second photo, we have captured for you a bricket making activity where girls learn how to use charcoal waste, by mixing the charcoal dust with soil to make brickets for cooking. The brickets are energy saving as they burn for long hours and this way, we save on energy costs. The third photo captures our garden full of fresh veggies. This together with the eggs will help raise the nutritional status of our girls. As part of their rehabilitation, we seek to address their nutritional health. In future, surplus veggies can be sold to raise additional income for the project.. The essence of initiating these livelihood activities is to pass on vital skills to the children so that when they are reunited with their families, they can initiate projects to help alleviate poverty and reduce the incidence of child abuse and exploitation.
We are very grateful for your continued support and wish to assure you that every penny counts! You can count on us to stretch every dollar that we get!!!!
