COREN (U)however came to  learn that not only a few shilling that one  gives a needy can stop poverty but also learnining and acquiring better skills could be the best way to eraducate poverty among community members.

We therefore carry out and organise  better trainnings through workshops, conferences and seminars.

we train them;

  •  How to create jobs for themselves.
  •  Book keeping.
  •  Home improvement.
  •  Bussiness skills.
  •  Enterpranueship 
  •  spiritual developement.

In this case we encourage them to creates simple groups and train them what to be done in respect of improving their own lives.

In with the course of trainning especially in crafts developement and modification we usually search market for their products.

We are however happy that we have managed to affilliate with other crafters who usually work hand in hand with us and orgainse sales and marketing events.
