Sophia particularly wants to train and employ groups who are
the lowest earners:- women, especially those who have not completed their
education, people with disabilities, and young adults. Older school pupils are
encouraged, as they can collect and recycle plastics which would otherwise be
dumped as litter.

| Sophia is interviewed for Joy TV |
At the impressive launch of her new NGO, she was publically
supported by the Deputy Regional Minister, the Regional Environmental
Protection Minister, other public dignitaries….. and me, being invited to join
the platform guests. Therefore I was able to make a statement about the rights
of people with disability, the right to life, to education, to health care, to
participation and the right to employment.
