Clothing manufacturing, curtains and more

About the Cause

The mother recounts that it all began when a neighbor told her about a sewing course being offered at the Compassion development center in her town. She was concerned because she didn't have the financial resources to even buy a single skein of thread, but one of the instructors inspired her, and she was able to take the workshop. She saw this as an opportunity to generate income for her household, as her husband's earnings weren't enough. Later, the mother says she continued her training in lingerie and underwear making, but her main source of income is clothing repairs and making curtains, among other things. This is how she started her own business. Lately, due to a lack of resources, she has had to slow down production a bit, but according to the mother, she remains determined and inspired to continue with her venture.
