  • classes in literacy and numeracy, tailored to the level of education a patient may or may not have had
  • handicrafts, including sewing, weaving and beading, with a view to making items which the patients can sell
  • cooking classes to demonstrate how to cook healthy food on a low budget
  • micro-finance support and enterprise training, including opening a bank account, household budgets and simple business accounts
  • income generation, including solar-powered charging stations, tailoring, goat rearing, reusable sanitary pads
