So how does CGI Empower the Poor?  Please read on to learn how!

byTavi exists to EDUCATE women in crisis through vocational training, EMPOWER them to protect and provide for their families, and EQUIP them to break the cycle of generational poverty.

• In the poorest areas of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, families are one crisis away from selling their children into trafficking to provide for the rest of their family.
• byTavi trains these women how to sew fashion items and then provides jobs to them.  These items are sold here in the States.  100% of the proceeds return to the program and the women.
• To meet these women or to shop visit www.bytavi.com.
