A Legacy Continued: Isabel’s Success in Sewing

When I was younger, my father had a sewing machine at home; he would do his work with it, and I would help him while learning from him at the same time.

After participating and graduating in the entrepreneurship training for women in business, Isabel was able to take the financing and buy a new machine to continue her work as a seamstress. With this work, she was able to meet basic household needs, such as assisting with food and personal necessities.

Isabel spoke on the difficulties faced when there are few clients and back when her old sewing machine had technical problems. ” I had to stop the work to resolve the issue before I could continue”.

For young people, Isabel advises them to be youth who go after their dreams and goals, who have vision and study, she sees it necessary for young people to work and study to prepare for the future.

The message Isabel left for Young Africa was; “ Do not stop this project, continue helping young people and women to create or open their own businesses so they can become women who have their financial independence”.
