Section 2: Impact AssessmentPhoto 22: Dress making became one of the new businesses inOtjivero“We started the project last year but we had to stopdue to a lack of funds and materials. We resumedfull force in January 2008 after we received theBIG money. We are six women who are involved inthe project... We make dresses, especially Namacultural dresses because most of our clients arelooking for them. We have clients from as far asGobabis, Witvlei, Windhoek and from the surroundingfarms. When there are occasions like weddingsand funerals, we make good sales... One dress isabout N$ 150 and we make about N$1,500 – 2,000per month. We have opened a bank account inWindhoek where we do our savings” (RudolfineAigowas).76
