## Method: ICTR
- Identify: We find women who have suffered a dysfunctional marriage, going village to village and door to door to reach those who would never reach us.
- Counsel: We offer counselling to women experiencing depression or stress because of a broken marriage, so they can recover their confidence and decide what comes next.
- Train: We train women in skills chosen around their own interests, from tailoring to embroidery, so they can earn their own living.
- Rehabilitate: We rescue and rehabilitate women from difficult situations, with immediate assistance first and long-term support after.
