In our commitment to assist those currently without jobs, in 2023, we entered into a partnership with Sourcing to provide university-educated girls with the necessary skills for a smooth transition into the workforce.

Retention rate at 98% for the year 2023
The retention rates have demonstrated a positive trend over the last two years. In 2022, our retention rate was 96%, reflecting a 4% decrease.
