Overview

I am a 19 year old mother of one and fistula survivor. I got a painful fistula when I gave birth and had a hard time dealing with it. Now I have had surgery and I am healed and want to provide for my infant son.

My goals are to open a tailoring business to earn an income for myself and my son. I am learning tailoring at Ancilla Vocational College through a program called Beyond Fistula.

I need $250 for a sewing machine and fabric to start my tailoring business.

Meeting this need will help me because I have the education and motivation to build a good life, I just need materials to begin.
