CHRYSALIS
PROGRAMME
Our work involves us in helping
families in times of need by supplying regular food parcels,
helping with medical expenses, introducing sponsors for
their childrens' education/living expenses and supporting
them however we can practically and financially.
However, we believe that
where possible, we help them to learn skills to enable them
to support their families.
The aim of our Chrysalis
Programme is to introduce families/individuals to a
Financial Sponsor and/or Mentor who can help them enjoy a
better way of life.
Several single mothers who wish to
improve their sewing skills are being coached by two of our
experienced members. In addition to making items for the
local villagers, we also supply them with materials to
enable them to make batik items (napkins, table mats,
coasters, aprons, oven gloves, ipad
covers, spectacle cases and folding bags) which we sell. We
pay them a fair price for their work and put the small profit
into a separate fund to ensure we can continue to help these
and other individuals.
Currently a selection of
these items are on sale at Arts Cafe, Babylon MatLounge,
Berjaya, Bon Ton, Ema, Payaworks and Underwater World. More
outlets will be announced shortly.
A widowed mother with
five children 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 with basics and is now operating with many
children and helpers.
Please contact us to
find out more about how you can help these women and others
realise their dreams.
