Two Women, Shared Challenges, Empowered by the Chicken Farming Program

Through the Chicken Farming Program, resilient women like Qiesha and Biji are creating brighter futures for their families. Their gratitude inspires us!

After several weeks of trainings, more than half of the first tailoring courses that we launched in China for this year has been completed. 30 women are part of this My First Job Tailoring Program. Most students are active and eager to learn but due to personal capability and other factors, the learning progress of some students is relatively slow, and most other students’ achievement is ideal, which has been recognized by the training teacher.
Recently, the teacher conducted a unified assessment of the students’ mid-term learning progress. On that day, most of the students came to the class to participate in the assessment.
The mid-term assessment is mainly divided into two parts, first one focused on cutting. The students need to independently complete the cutting of a Tibetan female clothing. During this period, the teacher gave an evaluation and assessment on the students’ measurement and cutting accuracy, and cutting steps, and whether they can carry out the above operations independently
The teacher will help improve the students’ weaknesses according to the result in the future class and complete training without giving up any student. We also expect students to make good progress by the time they complete the training.
Thank you to ZURU for half funding the My First Job programs. Thank you also to SWIS and CAF America!
