“I Thought It Was Only for Young Girls

I didn’t think I could learn something new at my age. I thought programs like this were only for young girls. I needed the opportunity, but I never dared to ask. Then, FacesUP offered it to me. And for the first time in a long time, I decided to believe in myself, even just a little.

Now, I make baskets and jewelry alongside running my small stall. The money I earn from selling the baskets and jewelry feeds into my business, and little by little, I see the difference. I never imagined myself doing this, but here I am.

I want to teach my children these skills, so when demand grows, we can produce more together. And I have bigger dreams. I want to build my own house. I want to see my children graduate from university.

To the women out there who think it’s too late, I say this: be patient. Believe in yourself. You are capable of more than you think.”
