Overview
I am a 23-year-old fistula survivor. I have just completed a one year vocational program in tailoring. I live with my mother and I am determined to become a successful and independent woman in my society.
My goals are to open a small tailoring shop, sell fabric and my beadwork which I very much enjoy doing. I hope to move out on my own and start my life.
I need to pay for my sewing machine, buy fabric, beads and pay for the rent on a small space to work from.
Meeting this need will help me because it will assist me in becoming independent and start my life now that I am well.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Winnie fund this need.
