A bit of history!!!!

This is the genesis of the empowerment program that achieved remarkable success with nearly 400 enrollments and 267 livelihood graduates.

Starting his Nigerian visit to Cameroon refugees Dr. Celestine Atangcho and the CRRI team donated 15 modern hair dryers and hairdressing accessories to trainees in hair dressing as well as one industrial sewing machine to a trainee in tailoring at the CRRI training center in Ogoja.
