Sophia works in the tailoring department at Neema Crafts which she is very happy about. She was born hearing imparied and school and work was very difficult for her. She learned about Neema Crafts in 2011 because her husband worked there in the café. When they got married, she also managed to get a job at Neema.
“I have learnt to make many things, including clothes and several different bags. I really enjoy learning how to make new items and improving my skills. A few years ago, my husband and I were able to get our own house and we live here with our son, who attends school locally. At Neema, I also had the opportunity to attend a business training course. This has inspired me and I would love to open my own shop or small hotel one day.”
