Assistant US Trade Representative Michael Delaney speaks with Neela Marikkar, Chairperson from The Grant Group, to discuss the launch of the War Widows Project in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. The project is supported through nearly Rs. 15 million from the United States to open handloom training centres and entrepreneurship training for widows in Mannar and Mullaitivu. Two of the centres were opened in May 2013, where more than 60 widows underwent six months of training on handloom techniques and money management.
