Amanjit Dhillon thanked everyone for their support.<\/p>\n<p>The project has left a lasting legacy in Meru, Kenya, as the sustainable nature of the training will now enable the women of Meru to train future generations on the techniques they have learned.<\/p>\n<h2>Empowering Girls in Nepal<\/h2>\n<p>We are delighted to launch the new SIGBI Project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empoweringgirlsinnepal.org\/\">Empowering Girls in Nepal<\/a>, in partnership with ChoraChori.<\/p>\n<p>ChoraChori rescue girls in Nepal who have been abducted, trafficked or raped, and rehabilitate them, offering them training to enable them to earn a living. Girls in Nepal are particularly vulnerable because it is easy to take them over the border to India, where they can become untraceable.<\/p>\n<p>A target of raising \u00a3105,000 has been set for the three years of the project.
