Formerly without prospects for the future, Rehama Jeanette is today an example of resilience and empowerment thanks to the cutting and sewing training provided by the AWCY-RDC. After several months of learning, she now masters making clothes and is gradually developing her income-generating activity. 

“Before this training, I had neither job nor hope. Today, I can sew clothes, earn an income and contribute to the needs of my family,” she says with emotion. 

Coming from a home facing great insecurity, Rehama says that her family sometimes went entire days without eating. Due to lack of means, his brothers were regularly expelled from school for non-payment of school fees. Thanks to her new know-how, she now contributes to the family expenses and supports the education of her brothers. 

Rehama's story demonstrates that vocational training is a powerful lever in the fight against poverty and youth unemployment. By providing practical skills and economic opportunities, AWCY-DRC restores confidence, dignity and hope to vulnerable young people. 

Through journeys like that of Rehama Jeanette, AWCY-DRC continues its commitment to the empowerment of young girls and the construction of a more dignified, more inclusive and more prosperous future for the communities of the Democratic Republic of Congo
