​Lenyeloi came to life in 2012 after a year long incubation period. When the ideas were ripe, the right people stepped onto the field. This project gives everyone involved an opportunity to grow, to give and to express themselves. Below are the individual stories of each woman participating.

I am a mother of 3 children and I like this project a lot, because it gives us skills and also improve life morality by reducing poverty. Go well Lenyeloi and grow bigger!
