Hanadi*, a 38-year-old woman from Aden, Yemen, has faced countless challenges in her life.
Living with a husband suffering from chronic illness and providing for 2 young daughters on a meager salary seemed like an impossible task, but Hanadi refused to give up and began a journey of resilience and determination.
Navigating the complexities of her husband’s illnesses, Hanadi fought tirelessly to ensure his comfort and wellbeing. At the same time, she strived to make ends meet and provide her daughters with a good education. It was a constant struggle, but Hanadi’s determination gave her the strength to keep going.
In her search for support and a better future, Hanadi found solace in Islamic Relief’s Saler project. Through this life-changing initiative, she received comprehensive sewing training and all the necessary tools to start her own business. The project became Hanadi’s lifeline, providing her with the skills, resources, and support she needed to thrive.
Equipped with a sewing machine, solar power systems, and sewing equipment, Hanadi poured her heart into creating beautiful garments and accessories. The sewing training programme not only offered Hanadi the expertise she needed, the supportive network Islamic Relief provided also helped her promote her work and connect with the market. Additional financial support played a crucial role in her success, enabling Hanadi to expand her business, buy supplies, and work for longer using solar powered lights.
A brighter future
As Hanadi’s business thrived, her income increased. This newfound financial stability allowed her to cover her husband’s medical expenses and provide her daughters with an education. With each passing day, her business attracted more customers and expanded its product range, bringing her closer to achieving her dreams.
Hanadi is eternally grateful to Islamic Relief for the life-changing support she received. Their assistance not only empowered her financially but also made a profound difference in her family’s lives. A still determined Hanadi continues to work hard to create a brighter future for her family.
