Sustainable Tribal Empowerment Program (STEP)

01 June 2009

Under this program enterprise and industry groups managing goat, bee/honey, rabbit and rubber enterprises, traditional craft and tribal culture groups and an herbal medicine centre have flourished.

Through dedication, commitment and hard work, the staff and village leaders have now successfully taken over STEP, have registered their own Society and will no longer require financial support from Assisi Aid Projects.
