WHEN THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY
As the trainees’ keenness to benefit greatly from the capabilities of the trailer training, some names emerged that have written stories of struggle, hope, and success in which all of those in charge of this project are proud.
Hana Aqel Mahmoud, is a mother in a family consisting of 4 members. As the income of her husband is intermittent and very low, around 2500 Riyals Yemeni (less than 2$), Hana decided to help. “In these difficult living conditions and the rising prices, it was necessary for me to help my husband to improve my family’s income, but I did not know what to do. Until I was registered among the beneficiaries of the tailoring training program in Al-Hessn sub-district. I said to myself: YES! this is my chance”
Hana promised herself to commit to attending and practicing. However, she realized that she urgently needed a tailoring machine to work on after the end of the training. She actually found a solution for herself, which is to buy a tailoring machine from the incentive amount that she receives on monthly basis, especially since YFCA has provided a training center in the same sub-district of hers. She agreed with a seller that she will pay the amount in installments for 3 months and the rest from the amount she will save from her daily income from tailoring. “ I purchased the machine! now I can help my husband to povaid our basic needs” Hana gratefully mentioned.
From another perspective, Reem Abdulnabi Al-Banqadi, is another good example of success in benefiting from such interventions. Reem is one of the trainees in the hairdressing training course in Al-Hessn sub-district. A step by her that preceded all her colleagues in training, was that she agreed with one of the beauty centers in the region to apply for a hairdressing salon after the end of the training. She thought of gaining experience and becoming - upon completion of the training - able to work professionally. She also purchased hairdressing tools such as a hairdryer and straightener from the incentive (transportation fees) that was paid to her on a monthly basis.
In this context, we interviewed the hairdresser host, her name was Hazara Jahrez Atef, who praised the level that Reem had reached, as she added “ I was one of those who witnessed the development of the trainee’s skill. Reem, came to apply for my beauty salon from the beginning until the end of the training, and during that period, I noticed the progress in her capability day after day, which indicates the quality of the training they received at Al-Hessn center”.
When we asked her if Reem’s level was sufficient for you to hire her in your hairdressing store? She replied: “Yes, absolutely. I see that the trainee is able to work, whether in my salon or independently”.
Likewise, the trainee Elham Ali Muhammad Salih, is a member of a simple family. They depend financially on the daily wage of one of her brothers that he receives out of his daily work. In which his daily income does not exceed 2000 Yemeni riyals. Elham says: “I am an illiterate young woman, I do not know how to read and write, and I do not have any vocation that makes me a productive member of my family”. Elham was enrolled in the tailoring training course. She becomes able to sew professionally all kinds of dresses to benefit herself financially!
For her good, a woman had freely presented Elham with a tailoring machine as soon as she heard that she was able to sew as a contribution to help this family improves their financial situation. “Thanks to all who worked for this training and YHF for such an opportunity and to the woman who supported me with the tailoring machine. Thank you all , after Allah, you opened the door of livelihood for me, my mother and my brothers”.
We emphasize the need for such projects, which directly reach the families’ needs and provide real assistance to them with a long-term impact. This will directly increase the chances of the community to develop their living standards and reduce poverty and hunger in simple and destitute communities. In addition, it motivates people to earn their subsistence and livelihood through income-generating professions.
