CHRYSALIS  PROGRAMME


In January 2012 we set up our Chrysalis Programme aimed at teaching skills to homebound individuals to enable them to be financially independent, particularly women who wanted to sew.

With the help of volunteers two ladies were taught to sew and one lady had her existing skills enhanced. We provided sewing machines and materials and purchased the batik items that they made, selling them locally.

In 2014 we started to downscale this programme as Sofia had built her sewing business and was earning a good income.  Zainab who could not sew two years’ ago started her own sewing business, assisted by LICOF. Punniavathy has started working outside of the home as her children are older. 

Another part of this programme was to give financial and moral assistance to a widowed mother, Darisah with five children who had always dreamed of opening her own nursery (Taska). With our help and that of two generous sponsors she was able to attend a training course on the mainland, equip the nursery and is now operating with many children and helpers.

This programme is now closed but we are pleased to have given these four ladies new skills which have made them financially independent.
