Hope sewing machine project
This project involves training girls, women and other vulnerable people such as prostitutes, widows, abandoned women, single women, HIV/AIDS patients, orphans, unemployed youth and people living with disabilities etc. on the use of the sewing machine.
After a 3-month training, TD-Birashoboka gives a certificate attesting that the person has regularly followed the sewing training. As our organization does not have sufficient financial means to buy a machine and a kit for a sewing workshop, we encourage the people we have trained to work in groups as a cooperative.
Solidarity Group through Savings and Credit
We encourage our beneficiaries to form a group to save a small amount of money that they may have in order to constitute a savings and credit fund. From this fund and depending on the amount a member has saved, a debt can be granted to them so that they can start an income generating activity. As these beneficiaries are in groups, it is an opportunity to help each other in case of problems and difficulties.
Project lenga lenga (Amaranth)
This project involves parents living with HIV/AIDS in Nyanza Lac Centre. We have a group of 20 people until May 2022. In order to support them and help them overcome the difficulties they face as a result of this disease, we encourage them to grow vegetables and other crops that ripen quickly such as lenga lenga, tomatoes etc. and to raise small domestic animals such as rabbits, pigs etc. This group also runs the savings and credit system.
Soap making and selling project
This project also involves girls and women who have decided to abandon the life of prostitution to live a dignified life.
