Picture Lydia, a mother in Zambia, trapped in a heartbreaking cycle of poverty. As she struggled to support her family, her husband stayed at home, drowning his sorrows in drink instead of seeking work. With no opportunities to escape this desperate situation, Lydia felt the weight of her family's future pressing down on her.

​

Then, a life-changing opportunity arrived—a training course offering not only valuable sewing skills but also a community of supportive and encouraging women. This transformative experience became Lydia's lifeline, providing her with the tools and knowledge to overcome the challenges she faced.

​

Through sheer determination and hard work, Lydia mastered her sewing machine and turned her life around. Today, she runs a thriving shop, plans to employ more women, and supports her family of nine, including her children, sisters, and husband, despite his ongoing struggles.

​

But Lydia's story doesn't end there. Her passion for sharing her skills drives her to teach her sister to sew, empowering her to achieve independence and contribute to their family's well-being.
