The project was designed to organize trainings with new technologies of canning fruits and vegetables. The main goal was to teach women from rural areas small business.

Back in 2008, there gathered several Alumni, who could attract other youth to help Orphanage of Disabled Kids at Pahtakor to repair a class and create a room where students could practice art and craft. That was a good chance for the students, since there were many talented kids among them. We started with $50 but later could fundraise $3000.
