Income generating projects for older women
TAFU”s projects can generate income for an older woman to
support herself and any family members who are dependent
on her. It enables the purchase of essential items such
as medicines, paraffin for night lighting, soap for
washing clothes and salt. As well as increasing financial
security the projects also keep older women physically
and mentally active.
Older women can choose an income generating project to
suit their capabilities and circumstances. For example,
goats do not require a lot of land but the older woman
needs enough strength to hold onto a goat. An older
person who is a Muslim or has Muslim neighbours would not
raise pigs.
TAFU provides the training and distributes the produce
and materials to older women.
