WOMEN POWER!


The construction at the BPI lot continued despite the scorching heat of the sun. Beneficiaries from the areas flocked and were very enthusiastic working at the project. While most husbands work at their respective companies to earn their daily living, most of the housewives on the other hand work at the construction site and has started their “sweat equity” required by the Habitat.
Meanwhile, other women groups from the areas also extend their service cooking at the St. Hannibal Training Center in lieu of the St. Hannibal Christian Community’s feeding program.
