Vocational training and business recovery

After escaping violence and struggling to feed her children, Elizabeth joined Tupendane's life skills training. She learned business, English, sewing, hairdressing, saving, and goal setting.

With a sewing machine and new confidence, she now earns through tailoring, supports a small vegetable business, pays rent and school fees, and keeps her children in school and eating well.

Sponsorship support for Jovin Malaki

Meeting the director of Tupendane Africa Foundation was a blessing. I asked for help with Jovin's education, and thanks to your kindness, a sponsor was found for him.

Jovin now attends school, is thriving academically, and receives support for school fees, uniforms, stationery, and health insurance.
