About The Project

$200.00 needed so I can continue to expand my tailoring business.
$100.00 personal investment towards my project.

I do this business to help me reach my dreams of having expanded tailoring workshop where I will have more different sewing machines, and store of clothes  to use while sewing, this will help my family members to pay the school fees, starting up other businesses for my es for my young brethren, and will employ some of my community members.



Paying it Forward

I plan to train my young brethren since I expect to achieve my dreams where they can also help in work in case I expand, I also plan to train others people from the community once I get more items soon. As the challenge of school feels is highly faced in our family I am working towards contributing on the school feels.

Backstory

This business is fortunate for me because I make an income from it, this income helps me to find the basic needs for me and my family, and I love it. Since I reached in Rwamwanja as a refugee in 2014 with my both parents and my brethren 4 girls and 2 boy,  I was 14 years I continued studying but due to challenges at home we had due to displacement, I failed to continue schooling and joined the tailoring skills 2016, and started my own small business in 2018, now I have customers and more experience, yes I got few challenges in my work especially on the market which is not constant where I used to get money always at the end of the month because many of our community members depend on the cash assistance that we receive every month from WFP, but I found this challenge solution by approaching other areas to have more markets even out of the settlement.
