- Bringing conflicting tribes living together
To girls and young women who are underprivileged in the society, especially those who have dropped out of school. We train those who have not gone to school at all because they cannot afford to pay their school fees.
Since they have lost the opportunity of formal education, the infant Jesus Sisters and the teachers teach them basic life skills, such as literacy, sewing, hand and machine knitting, catering, human and spiritual development. A course for a certificate in computer skills is also offered to the few students who have had the chance to complete their secondary education. It is a two year program
