Located in Palmers Cross, Clarendon, in the heart of an economical and educational depressed community, TIJULE Co. LTD. provides much needed employment for the residents of the community. Uneducated and unskilled mothers benefit the most by getting employment either on full or part time basis.
Their children get assistance with school fees, books, uniforms, lunch and transportation and even a place to stay while they await their mothers’ coming off from work. Assistance is also given in time of illness, births and deaths.
The men also benefit: as the company provides them with a market for their produce in whatever amounts they are able to provide.
