"These programmes are intended to empower female coffee plantation workers and their daughters, as well as to offer elder care assistance for their emotional and physical needs." "Through this event, WCAI raises awareness about the need of supporting programmes for needy women coffee plantation workers and their girl children, which will go a long way toward lighting the lamp of hope and happiness in their homes," they stated.
