Meet Lilian, a cheerful, hearty woman who is basking in the beauty of her hard work that keeps yielding every day. This resilient woman, 27 and a mother of 3 gave her all in our free tailoring school and successfully completed, an effort that got her where she is now.
After her graduation from the program a year a go, she hit the ground running and started her tailoring shop in her village market something that she is marvelled at and proud of. Gifts of knowledge, skill, and a sewing machine changed her life immensely in many ways she never thought of.
With her husband unemployed and with three kids to take care of, Lilian used to worry about her tomorrow but now hope for the future has been restored. When we visited her months after her graduation, this Made with Amore Alumni is in a good place and giving it her best shot at business, a career she prior had no idea of and never even fathomed venturing in.
This program has changed her life for the better. She is now able to take care of her family and her children’s school needs. However, she also stated that her main challenge is fabric given that she is located in a remote location but from her little savings she tries her best to meet the costs. Currently, she is the sole provider for her family specializing in making bags, clothes, and clothing/fabric repairs.
