WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Hear what people have to say

"As a network we were aware of the issues that are happening in our communities but lacked the expertise on how to approach them. But under this project we received megaphones which we use when conducting awareness campaigns, we also received bicycles which eases mobility when following up cases and books for record keeping of cases handled. I am grateful to CAVWOC for the interventions in our community."

"I am grateful for being part of the women who received this pad making training through CAVWOC. I had no knowledge of how to operate a sewing machine but through the training and sewing machines provided we have been imparted with the basic skills of cutting and sewing. Over the course of the training, we were able to make simple bags and we aim to expand our skillset and transfer the skills to students in upper classes to ensure the sustainability of the pad making."
