Penduka is a community established by a Dutch lady for African women (giving preference to those who have a disability), where they learn skills like recycling glass to make jewelry, sewing/embroidery, pottery, batik, etc. - all of which help them to achieve economic independence and a strong sense of self-worth and strength. The sign on the door is kind of hard to read, but "penduka" means to "wake up" and epitomizes the vision of the community. Great stuff!
