adminfence-making venture has almost stalled due to shortage of raw materials. Copota principal Mr Jeffrey Chiwera yesterday said they had started mobilising funding for the projects. He said they were going to use both internal resources and those sourced from donors to revive the projects.
“We need about US$50 000 to revive operations at Copota Workshops for the Blind where visually-impaired students specialise in furniture making using rattan cane that is imported. We also need to finance the procurement of raw materials to be used in fence making, while our chalk making venture is no longer viable owing to competition from imported dustless chalk,” he said.
Mr Chiwera said it was Copota Workshops for the Blind and not Copota Schools for the Blind that was facing problems.
