Do you know about Um Mahmoud?
It was a frightening moment for Um Mahmoud. Everything seemed to be a nightmare. Her house was destroyed and the bombardment turned everything into rubbles even her sewing machine.
By then, she had to move with her family of 8 into Armanaz where their tragic life started. No income, no support, and her husband is injured while her son got severe burns and his treatment is unaffordable in such situation. Words are not enough to describe the living essentials they needed but couldn't afford.
The brave woman couldn't give up and sought the means to buy a sewing machine. Sadly, no money could be saved when she had to cover their basics. Luckily, we met her and we knew how strong she is and how she struggles to provide for her family. What we could do for her?
We have rented a small shop for Um Mahmoud and provided her with a sewing machine and sewing kit. Moreover, we bought her some dresses for hire. That was all that we have done for her but she did what was much more.
Um Mahmoud was aware of the market so she invested her experience to train other women and asked for nominal prices. In addition, she was able to buy machines and sewing essentials to sell them again.
Little by little, she could transform the life of her family and of many other families into a better one. Your donations truly change people's lives and people like Um Mahmoud make this change impressively serial and transferrable to others.
