The participants are provided with transportation for the duration of their training.

The target groups for this programme would be:

  1. Members of households that receive Safety Net Programmes
  2. Victims of Domestic Violence
  3. Underemployed women who head single parent families
  4. Women who are the sole bread winners in their families
