One of our important projects, called “Plant 100000 palm seeds” is continuing to flourish. We have established Eco Protection Force (EPF) and to date with the support of our mothers and their families, we have planted 6000 palm seeds and 2000 saplings in various Nandri villages. Our mothers take enormous pride and pleasure in this project and know they are supporting the environment and making the world a better place for future generations.

A new project we have instigated is Artisan training camps organised by Joe, so that our mothers can learn new useful handicraft skills and set up their own micro businesses. Our aim in Nandri is to equip our mothers with the skills to provide for themselves and their families and support them in setting up their own cottage industry.

Our mothers had a wonderful time and learned so much from the first camp! Some of the crafts they were introduced to included embroidery, lacemaking, quilting and knitting. With their newly learned skills, they will be able to work towards starting up their own little business and with our help, enable them to provide for themselves and their families.
