We are always excited to share the stories of the students who have come through Opening Doors. Agatha was a student with us and recently transitioned out. She now has returned back to the training center, but this time as an employee helping to cook for the other students at Opening Doors. Agatha has been a beam of positivity and encouragement for not only the students, but everyone at the Center.
40% of Opening Door's expenses are covered by the sale of candles and other products produced in training workshops. The remaining 60% comes from fundraising efforts. family, friends, and well wishers. Your support helps us to continue the mission to care for and train disabled children.
