Agape Orphanage Center Caregivers Group Creates Local Business

The LRPI Agape Orphanage Center Caregivers Group in Dar es Salaam has taken on a new project to provide self-sufficient income to caregivers. The group, consisting of four women, is partnering with Pastor Kangwa and Fena Chibesa to create tie-dyed skirts for sale in local markets.

The women have been tirelessly learning the aspects of skirt design, pattern and dying techniques to create a product that will drive a profit for their homes.

A local mentor, Mrs. Ambali, has spent countless hours with the women, advising them on the methods of pattern-making and finishing. Each woman spends about six to ten hours a day in the group, creating skirts for sale.

Prior to the skirts being placed into production, the women met as a group to review theories for profitable success and created a business plan.

The women will begin selling the skirts in Dar es Salaam markets within the next couple of months with the support of Life Restoration Partners in Tanzania.
