Maria's Journey
Building Economic Independence
Maria, a single mother, was determined to provide a better life for her children but lacked the resources to do so. Through our Economic Empowerment program, Maria gained the skills and financial literacy needed to start her own business. She now runs a successful small enterprise and is a role model for others in her community.
