30 women receive Assistant Chef training –

“I am a single mom with 3 children. After the birth of our 3rd daughter I became barren and couldn’t provide my husband with a son, so he left me. I have never been to school so I am unable to find work to support myself and my daughters. I want the best for my girls and I know it’s not possible without a good education. I need to find work to be able to send my daughters to school. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the My First Job Assistant Chef program. I am learning skills that I am confident will be able to provide me with a good job. I am not property. My children are the most important thing to me. I am happy that I will be able to be independent and provide them with a good future.”

30 women who all have similar stories to this lady, are half way through their My First Job Assistant Chef training (the first of two programs being run this year). Following a recent inspection by Captivating, the report is they are enjoying the opportunity to learn new things and are incredibly supportive of each other as they experience these things together.

Thank you to each of our Global Sponsorship Families who are faithfully sponsoring these women through their training. AND, a massive “thank you” to ZURU for funding 50% of the total budget for this life changing program.
