For a long time, I was just at home waiting. Waiting for my husband to provide, waiting for things to change. But when this opportunity came, I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I told myself, ‘Let me try.’ And now, I feel proud of that decision.
Being in this program has changed so much. I have learned new skills, and for the first time, I have my own income. The first thing I bought? A dozen exercise books for my children to take to school. Before, I could only ask my husband for such things. Now, I can contribute the little I can. That feeling is something I never want to lose.
In this space, I have learned something even more powerful: it’s possible for a woman to make her own money. I want to learn every skill this program offers, start my own business, and make sure my children never lack the education they deserve. I don’t just wait anymore. I create.”
