Having worked at an Orphanage for close to 2 years, I saw a need for those precious children. We understand that some girls unfortunately will not make it to Tertiary levels because of their unfortunate backgrounds but are very talented. Our vision as polka.dot.coco (trading name) is to be able to get enough exposure and be financially stable so we can hire and upskill the princesses. We are targeting girls who are 18 years or older . This is a journey that we are willing to embark on . We believe in second and third chances. Once they have gathered enough skills and feel they are ready, we can then release them to start their own businesses. Women empowerment is vital, very vital! Journey with us.
