I've also been learning much about IGP (Income Generating Projects) that many NGO's use to help the people to become self-sustaining. Northern Uganda and Gulu especially are packed with so many Aid organizations that the people now expect a handout and look for people from the west to provide for them. Child Voice is teaching these former Child Soldiers who are now mothers to bake, cater, and make cards which will sell in the west. These project have setbacks in teaching about quality work for western standards but soon will be making a profit to support the girls at CVI. They also work on the farm to produce their own food. In working on these projects the girls also earn a small amount of money and learn to save for the future.
