Church Livelihood Program

One of our new projects is the CLP- Church Livelihood Program, where women are taught numeracy, literacy and are given small ruminants, such as snails and rabbits to raise.

To me, this is one of the most inspiring projects to visit. Unfortunately, in Africa it is normal for girls not to be educated, since they must stay at home and help with cooking, etc. The "boy child" is favored in this society, and so most of these women didn't even know how to hold a pencil, and are now able to read and write!

Snails.
