Meet WfWI - South Sudan graduate Kana!
Kana is married with 6 children. For Kana, one of the best parts of her year-long WfWI program was the business training.
In addition to specific vocational skills, like breadmaking or farming, the WfWI curriculum includes business training. This means that women in our program don’t just learn a trade but they learn how to turn their trade into an income-generating business, such as a bakery. They learn to buy, sell, serve customers, and manage their finances.
Kana tells us that, through the WfWI business training, she has learned the importance of bookkeeping. Now she counts and keeps track of her products.
Says Kana of her new business and the independence it gives her, "Before I used to rely on my husband for everything, even to buy soap. If my h usband didn't buy soap, I couldn't bathe. Now I buy soap and even have money to send my children to school.
