Her name is Angella (not real name) a woman with partial visual impairment, a young mother of two girls. MPWDA with funding from our friends on GlobalGiving skilled her with tailoring. After gaining the skill, we bought for her a sewing machine and gave her start up capital of USD 25. She for the first months stayed with her trainer. Later she rented her own house which she partioned for residential and business. She now makes all kinds of sized clothes including for children and adults. She is loved and respected in the community and this has enabled her gain many customers. She got the idea of expanding from only tailoring and added some already made clothes. She plans to have a big boutique and continue with her tailoring as well. She is a role model to other girls in the community. She plans to live an independent life where she is able to contribute to her life needs including supporting her two daughters for education. She joined a saving group in her community where she saves some money gained from her business.
Her vision after expanding financially is to form a big boutique with tailoring serivces. She is lacking funds to buy dammies, clothes and also partitioning her shop to look attractive.
We believe that with continous support, Angella will be a role model not only to young women with disabilties but to able bodied young women as well.
MPWDA is very greaful for the support from our dear friends. We want to see Stella achieve her dream and also support others to be like her.
Thank you so much for continously supporting young women with disabilities
We love you
