She used to have dreams, but in a place like this, they often struggled to become reality. That’s where Nawiri came in, like a guiding star in the night.
Miss Fatuma, with a warm smile, shares her incredible transformation journey: “Among many young people in our community, I was chosen, received training, and, later, I was fortunate to receive a sewing toolkit. It’s hard to express how excited I am to say that, thanks to the new skills I gained, I can now earn a living by fixing clothes for our community members. I’ve become a source of livelihood, not only for myself but also for my family.”
This might sound like a simple tool, but for her, it means so much more. It’s a key to a world of endless possibilities. Miss Fatuma embraced this gift wholeheartedly. She practiced and keeps on practicing, turning pieces of fabric into works of art. Her sewing machine isn’t just a machine; it’s a symbol of her strength and a vessel of her dreams.
Her eyes sparkle with gratitude as she continues, “Life has significantly improved for my family and me compared to before the program. I remember when my dreams were just dreams, and now they’re becoming a beautiful reality.” Her beautifully crafted garments have caught the eye of her fellow villagers. They see in Miss Fatuma not just a talented seamstress, but a source of hope. Orders kept pouring in, and her small sewing business has thrived and continues to thrive.
Her dreams, once hidden away, shine brightly, and her sewing machine became more than just an income source; it is a source of pride.
As Miss Fatuma stitch clothes, she has also stitched together a brighter future for her family. The money she earns help her provide for her family, ensuring her children could go to school and dream big.
Miss Fatuma’s words resonate with a deep sense of appreciation as she shares, “I am truly grateful to Nawiri for this life-changing opportunity. It’s not just about me; it’s about what this program can do for others. I am more than happy to help my community, and I would love to see more people empowered, just as I have been. Together, we can weave a brighter future for our community. It’s amazing how a simple toolkit and the right support can change lives. Nawiri has made all the difference.”
This isn’t just a story about Miss Fatuma; it’s a story about the magic of the Nawiri Apprentice program.
