Livelihood Schemes

There are schemes to help people build and run business enterprises here, they range from tailoring, short eats, brick making, vegetable gardens to hand looms. One of our hand loom projects just got going and produced some table cloths and sari’s. Handicap International managed to buy 17 sari’s and I bought a table cloth, so off to a good start.
I have tried to persuade my colleagues to vary the types of schemes, but as yet to no avail.
