Enterprising Mothers Work From Home

Many of the women in Steung Meanchey have very young babies. They have sent their older kids to school in the day time (which we celebrate and encourage). But this means the mothers must stay at home to care for their adorable infants. These women are industrious and eager to do something to make money to help support their family. But it must be something they can do from home while keeping an eye on their little ones. 02 Quick thinking on the part of CCF Community Outreach Team introduced the women to making small carpets. These carpets are very popular in Phnom Penh. You can find them in every home and hotel so there is always a market for them. Our Outreach Team offered the mother's small looms, fabric supplies and training. Within a few days this group of mothers were producing a fine first batch of carpets for sale. 03 04
