-provision of handcraft industries and vocational training to impaired children and women, -poverty reduction,

Many thanks go to Mr.Mbogella and CCDO team who welcomed us in their mission and allowed us to extend the reach of their visionary sight to Estonia and beyond.’’ concludes Ms.Kozaj, the Tallinn-based project manager.
