Bamboo Furniture Making Project

Also in 1991, a volunteer from the German Development Service showed up and promised to help PFI with its organized groups in the city. In a span of two to three months, the volunteer recommended the foundation to the German Embasssy to whom we sent a proposal to support a project on bamboo furniture making.

The embassy responded positively and granted assistance to fund the purchase of training equipment, capentry tools, a sizing machine, the training shop and the payment of the honoraria for the trainors who were themselves experts in bambooo furniture making. The training was able to produce good bamboo furniture makers who soon utilized their new-found skills for their livelihood.
