Overview
I am a 21-year-old Kenyan woman. I am also an Obstetric Fistula survivor. I have just completed a one year vocational training program in tailoring.
My goals are to open a a small tailoring shop so that I can support myself using the skills I developed in my training program.
In order to open my shop, I first need to purchase a sewing machine, fabric and rent for the location.
Meeting this need will help me because I will finally be able to support myself so that my family won't sell me into marriage.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping Selena fund this need.
