The incubator has been set up to assist new businesses aiming to provide alternative employment to women who may otherwise be forced to sell their bodies in order to provide for family. Some land has already been purchased for new freedom businesses, and ideas for businesses are being developed. We are very excited to see the progress on these projects. Those of you who have supported our quizzes raising funds for these projects... thank you! It is great to be able to stand on the land where these projects are happening!

A lovely woman, Janet, gave Zoe her first hair cut. Just the fringe to keep her hair out of her eyes.
