History Of Cycle Of Good<\/h5>\n

More than ten years ago, the Cycle of Good charity was established in the township of Chilomoni in Malawi to provide aid to the poverty-stricken families in the area. They wanted to introduce social enterprising as a reliable means of livelihood for the locals.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, Cycle of Good has established several businesses that employ about 500 people. They hire individuals from the community and put them on extensive training courses so that they can effectively perform their tasks and deliver quality work.<\/p>\n

Profits generated from the Cycle of Good\u2019s businesses are used to fund the children\u2019s centre that provides child care services and family support to the needy families.<\/p>\n

Among all their enterprises, the tailoring school has proven to be the most productive. Through the years, it has welcomed more than 2,000 locals, both men and women, who undergo through a diploma training course on sewing. After they have completed their training, they get hired to work for Cycle of Good, and also get to keep for themselves the donated sewing machine that they used during their training.<\/p>\n
