Training for tsunami survivors

Hope 4 Our Children funds training for tsunami survivors. Some were taught how to sew, how to embroider, how to process dried fish; some others were trained how to make swing. Their trainings range from three classes to ten classes, depending on the complexity and target of the training. Funds are allocated for cost of training, materials as well as equipment.

Hope 4 Our Children works with a local partner, Yayasan Ilham and Rodhiah, a contact representative and workshop coordinator. Since its launch, the programs have trained many widows and youth tsunami survivors by providing skills to become one of the sources of their livelihood. This program was directed by Faizah Badeges, Hope 4 Our Children's Board of Trustee, and initiated on her last trip to Sigli in February 2006.
