JACKY FINALLY ACHIEVES HER DREAM

When FALCCO first interacted with Jackyline Munezero, it was a tale of sorrow and despair. Envisioning a bright future for her was not easy. She lost both her parents about 7 years ago. She lives in a home without a caring adult figure to give her care and guidance in life. Only her younger brother was in school. She had dropped out of school about 6 years ago, having attended only six classes.
All hope seemed to be gone. We asked her for her plans for the future and there was nothing much she could talk about.
However, after more discussions with her, she agreed that if she could get tailoring skills, she could use them to take herself forward in life. So we enrolled her for a two year tailoring course which she completed successfully. We really are thankful for her loving and caring sponsor who has supported her through her journey.
She was supported with the tailoring machine pictured here and has now started off her own tailoring business. Her family is so grateful because their sister is now living with a sense of purpose and self esteem.

During the 4 years that she has been in the project, she has not only got the vocational skills to make her economically independent but she has experienced a great transformation of mind and behavior. We connected her to mother figures who continue to mentor her and walk with her through life. She is more confident and makes positive decisions. 

Thanks Linn and all our sponsors for your dedication that is creating success stories like this one!
