It has been a very busy summer at the Kopila Valley Women’s Center! Twenty women have graduated from our first vocational weaving training group, and twenty new women have just started in the next training group. We currently employ about fifteen women who are the graduates of our first sewing vocational training. They create beautiful clothes out of colorful fabrics on the sewing machines, which then become part of our women's center training store front.
