Leyde
- Age: 27
- Marital Status: Not Married
- Children: 2
- Community: Nueva Oriental
- Mi Esperanza Course: Sewing
Leyde lives in Nueva Oriental in a “Torch Mission” house. She has 2 daughters and is a Mi Esperanza graduate. Leyde graduated from our sewing program in 2007. On Saturday we visited with Leyde to see how she was doing and get an update on her life. We are happy to report that she is doing great and using the skill that she learned from her training at Mi Esperanza. She has a sewing machine in her home and works for private clients making clothes. She has also been working in a maquila since her graduation where she makes t-shirts and blouses. She has been able to add a room on to her home, put in a concrete floor and add a large pila to her house. Her daughters are healthy, happy and in school. Leyde shared with us how her education with Mi Esperanza has provided stability for her and her daughters that would not have been possible without the education she received. She has consistent work that provides daily needs like food, water, shelter, medical care and education for her daughters. Another Mi Esperanza success story!
