Lukweta Community Development Project, Zambia, Africa. Lukweta CDP homecraft instructor Jessy Siame, 25, demonstrates her skills on a sewing machine at the project office. When Jessy Banda Siame was hired by World Vision three years ago to teach basic home skills to women in Lukweta region, she was shocked at how much the women did not know. "When I first came to this project three years ago, I was very surprised to see that young girls could neither knit nor prepare good, nutritious meals," she said. She was especially concerned about how little the women knew about preparing nutritious meals for their children, which resulted in much malnutrition. But Jessy noted a great difference among the women since they began attending the women's clubs in the area. Over the past three years, Jessy has started five women's groups and taught the women about nutrition and other important skills. Photo by Fred Simposya/World Vision.
