Starfish: Basila and Rahma

My name is Basila and my age is 27. I live with my young sisters and brothers and I have one son who is 7 years old. My education level is Form Four (10^th grade). I can’t continue education because I haven’t money, then I was sick. But I will like to continue to study in order to succeed in life. Before GHTA I sewed clothes in order to make money which helped me take care of my family. This job was difficult because the customers were difficult to work with. The biggest challenge in my life so far is disagreement with my husband. I decide to start my own life in order to be free from discrimination of men. After GHTA I want to start my own business and teach sewing. My dream for the future is to be a good business woman. I hope will happen in life.

My name is Rahma Kalisti Kessy. I am 28 years old. I live with my husband. I have two daughters. My education level is form two (grade 8). I wanted to be a part of GHTA because education is everything. The hardest part about being in school as an adult is I forgot everything. The best part is to know how to apply education in my life. The most difficult job I ever had was farming mushrooms. I did this for four months. I plan to apply my GHTA education after graduation I will open business of pouches and handbags. My dreams I want to be a business woman to design shop. My passion is to make pouches. I hope to be a rich business woman.
