There is so much emphasis on educating youth and how an entire generation will change with such intervention. This is absolutely true and undoubtedly impactful.
However, there is a definite need for those who are trying to turn around their lives. Whether through failed marriages, trying to support a child by themselves, or even just trying to work after years at home.
It's not easy and there is constant feedback from society that why couldn't you fit in.
Meet Farida. She's 38 years old and just became an empty nester. She has always loved textiles and fashion design and used to dream of becoming a fashion designer, but gave this all up when she got married at age 18. These days, her husband has financial problems and now her in-laws are no longer discouraging her from working. In fact, she is being encouraged to. The challenge is she doesn't quite know how to begin. She is making clothes and selling from a tiny profit to her close circle of friends. She's hired a full time tailor and his cut is suiting all well. But, how does she get new clients. How does she expand her breach and her income.
That is where this training is so critical. It doesn't make sense in 2019 to only sell to 5 girlfriends. Technology can bridge all gaps. Farida wanted to learn how and this training is the bridge she needs to have her products reach more people.
Help us transform the lives of more women like Farida. Thank you!
