““Thank God for Mi Esperanza! It has been so precious to me.””
— Rosita

Rosita learned about Mi Esperanza through Mi Esperanza's production manager, Aurora Romero. Rosita and Aurora attend church together. Rosita was very curious about the work of Mi Esperanza. As soon as she found out she qualified for the Sewing course, Rosita asked for permission at work to attend classes, and she enrolled in the sewing course.

  • Community: Barrio Buenos Aires

  • Mi Esperanza course: Sewing

"Mi Esperanza has been a great learning experience for me. Because of my love for arts and crafts, my new sewing skills helped my creativity grow. Our teacher, Reina, was terrific. Besides teaching us how to make essential pieces, she taught us how to make fashion patterns. Now I can create any type of pattern from scratch and sew my clothes and clothes for others!" Rosita shared.

She said, "After I found out and experienced Mi Esperanza, I encourage other women to make time for themselves. We need to grow and be well-prepared for the future. Many women are now empowered and have the skills to support their families. I wish there were more projects like Mi Esperanza.

Throughout 2020 she made her family masks and turbans to protect them from Covid-19, which saved her family a great deal of money. In addition, her sewing skills allowed her to begin working at home by sewing clothing and masks for others. This work generated an income when she could no longer go to work. This work was and continues to be a huge blessing to her family.
