Our goal is to have a partnership with local companies that will continue to provide the support needed for the girls. Example, a local company who makes shampoo/soaps, hygiene could make a monthly contributions of their supplies, or a local retailer will allow the girls a set amount of funds or list of clothing for the girls to start school, connect with a computer company to provide laptops, etc. This position is also perfect to be used as a internship or practicum.
