40 Women trained in table cloth making

One of our goals is to empower Dunoon community members to become independent and provide for themselves and their dependants.
Two weeks ago Masincedisane Advice Office approached the Limani Women from City of Cape Town to capacitate the Dunoon women. After their confirmation we informed the community women about the training on waste management. 20 women from Dunoon and Dornbach attanded and learned about fabric painting and how to use their creativity.
After the training the Advice Office field workers assisted those 20 trained women to do other waste management projects like netting plastic bags, plastic shoes and jeweler box using Coke bottles.

For a second round the Advice Office invited the Limani group again to cooperate with us and informed another 20 women to add on the first 20. Those 40 women were trained how to make painted table cloths and aprons using stencils and how to do decorations like candle holders and glass holders using waste. At the end of the training they were given fabric to make their own curtains to sell. This way they are able to buy their own material, fabric paint, stencils etc. and the women were introduced to certain factory shops so that they could buy material cheaper.
