About The Project

$120 contributed by Gloria towards her project


Gloria bought a sewing machine with an initial investment. She is always learning new fashion design from friends. She is confident that her creativity will pay off with increased sales. Her increased income is helping her family with basic needs. With future investments she would like to open a savings plan. She has plans to offer sewing and design training to her local community.



Paying it Forward

Gloria would like to offer training to her local community so that can earn income from the tailoring profession.

Backstory

Gloria is 19 years old and lives with her mother and four siblings. Three of her siblings are in school. She helps her mother in the family garden growing Irish potatoes, wheat and beans. Her siblings are able to walk to school and one tuition is being paid by a sponsorship but she thinks there is an underperformance issue in the school. She would like to see family improve their diet and grow a variety of vegetables and fruits. Medical clinics are nearby but are often in short supply of medicines and staff. Accessing markets is a challenge due to the poor road network.
