Outcome challenges & Activities
WhatsApp August 20024. Margeter. We the halfway home have some items to sell and would be greatful if you can get us a market to sell I’ll share them .The only problem is that we have to hire tools to make them if we had ours we can be able to have many items.
I think the best way to reach out to people is to have a show room to display especially those sides of limuru road but we have to have tools inorder to have several items and in case we get orders we able to supply the items on time .
