Congratulations to our women who achieved their dreams after graduating from our sewing skills, life skills, and mentoring courses. In mid-January 2021, there were 11 students who completed our program. Eight students work at the tailor shops and an ethical factory, four set up their business at home.
Although it was a complicated year due to the Covid-19 outbreak, we still manage to train and certify our sewing students. We provided each student a bottle of liquid soap and several face masks for them and their families to use for prevention. Moreover, we are really proud of our sewing students who attended the class regularly even we didn’t provide them petrol allowance because we didn’t have enough funds to afford it.
Major Achievements

A nice story of Srey Ka
Srey Ka was born into a big family which consists of ten members. She stopped studying in grade nine because she couldn’t catch up with the lesson well. She got married at the age of 21, and she has five years old son. She went to work as a service for a few years. Then she decided to join a sewing class at an organization, but she gave up her skill because she needed to take care of her small son.
She wanted to learn this skill again, so she asked us to join our sewing program. She just graduated from our sewing course, and she got a job to work as a seamstress at a tailor shop.
“I am very excited that I achieved my dream after joining the sewing program at Human and Hope Association. I have a job when I graduated from my sewing course, so I can earn a good income to help my family. Moreover, I gain some knowledge that is helpful in my living. I would like to say thanks to my teacher and supporters who provided me this opportunity.”- Srey Ka
