Husky Energy Tailoring Skills
Program For Women
GPA Greenhouses
This project saw 130 families and their children create
sustainable income potential in their remote and high altitude
villages during 2018. Each family enjoyed being part of
learning how to grow fresh produce all year round in their new
greenhouses. Families are healthier plus they save money not
having to buy from the market. Parents can keep their children
in school for longer.
Our thanks to GPA Global, 10th Shenzhen Charity Federation

and the French Beauty Academy for believing in this project
and partnering with us.
Pigs for Poverty
100 families with low income opportunities
received 200 piglets [2 per family] to start
their pig business. Over 70% were single
mother households who benefited from the
2018 Pigs for Poverty Project. Training was
provided for each family on best pig raising
practices. These families are on their way to
sustainable living and financial independence
if they keep to the program.
Special thanks to CAF America and

Chris Beveridge and the French Beauty
Academy for partnering with us in
the Pigs for Poverty Project and
giving single moms an
opportunity to change their
world.
Healthy Village Project
30 young women aged between 18 and 40
years, were part of the very first Husky Energy
Tailoring Skills Program for Women. During
2018, these women learned the fine art of
tailoring which includes how to create and
follow a pattern, selecting quality fabric and
using professional machines to create beautiful
clothes for women.
This project empowers young, illiterate or lowly
educated women from rural areas in Qinghai.
Through this program, young women are
provided skills that could increase their income
in order to live independent lives, helping them
build a reputation with their families and to
encourage families and communities to value
females’ education.
Thank you to HUSKY ENERGY for fully funding
this amazing project.
The Healthy Village Project brought health education and medical checks to remote
nomadic families and villages.
. Over 3,000 women and men participated
. 8 township locations and 2 schools were part of the project
Everyone learned about common infectious diseases, women’s and men’s health, baby care
and HIV/AIDS. For many of the women, this was their first medical checkup. Child safety
education was also included.
Thank you to ASBV Charity and the 10th Shenzhen Charity Federation Captivating Annual
Charity Auction for supporting this project in 2018.
