And when they leave the bar, we provide housing, a job, and child-care. While working in one of our small businesses, they receive vocational training in handicrafts, sewing, jewelry making, beauty services (hair, nails, eyelashes), baking, cooking, serving, restaurant management, hospitality management, reception desk, and maid and laundry services. After training, women will go home, start a business, or get a job in their field.
