There’s something satisfying about closing a lid and knowing everything is right where it belongs.
That simple feeling is part of what we love about the Hassan Basket. Its woven texture gives it character, while the lid keeps whatever you tuck inside neatly out of sight.

Getting ready for the workplace is about more than having a CV.

From 31 August to 2 September, Aurora Foundation hosted a three-day Job Readiness Training at Aurora House, facilitated by Ajara Marie, Founder of Women Mean Business.

Participants strengthened their professional CV-writing skills, built confidence, explored essential employability skills, and learned to recognise the unique strengths they bring to their careers.

Through interactive sessions and discussions, participants reflected on how their abilities, experiences, and personal strengths can create value in professional settings.

At the end of the training, participants received certificates in recognition of their successful completion.

Congratulations to all participants as they take meaningful steps towards their career goals.
