Vocational training for sewing and seasonal farming - Aman space - Aleppo.

Due to the importance of supporting and empowering women to help them find work and achieve economic stability, the Syrian Society for Social Development, in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund / Syria, implemented a set of vocational trainings on sewing and seasonal agriculture.

Each training targeted 12 women between the ages of 18 and 60 years.

Sewing and tailoring training aims to teach women the basics of this profession in a professional manner.

The aim of the seasonal agriculture training is to introduce women to the most important crops that are not widely available in the local community, and to train them on different methods of farming in a scientific and thoughtful way in order to avoid any imbalance and improve the agricultural products.

The women expressed the benefit they got after the training, as some of them commented:

“It is nice that a woman has a special job for her own that strengthens her personality and enables her to live without having to ask her husband for money.”

"I am 16 years old and I love sewing and I would have liked to enroll in a course, but the financial conditions were very difficult, and, luckily, thanks to you, I am now learning it for free"

"We needed this training in order to get acquainted with the modern farming methods, and to know more about the new crops that we did not know before, such as thyme, broccoli, cabbage, red beet and soybeans."

The trainees expressed their gratitude for being enabled and given the opportunity to contribute to supporting their families.

Some of the feedback we received was as follows:

"By having this kit, I will be able to help my husband with household expenses and start my small business. My husband has encouraged me after he had been opposed to the idea at first."

"I became financially dependent on myself, and I’m no longer a burden on someone’s shoulder. Finally, my dream has come true and I have my own project."

"Hopefully, my relationship with my husband will improve and our problems will start to solve, after I have become a productive woman and I will be able to help him with the house expenses
