Recycle, Skills Development & Income Generating Project
Recycled cans are decorated by a group of unemployed women from the area, and sold to raise funds for KidsCan!. The women are paid for each can that they decorate. This programme aims to teach the children entrepreneurial skills & to care for their environment.

MOTIVATION
To be able to do homework and study, a child needs resources and a safe environment conducive to learning. These are not available to many children. After school a large number of children are left without adult supervision since many parents work long hours out of necessity. These youngsters are very vulnerable.
