Vocational training creates a golden opportunity for people who are trying to find a way to learn a profession so that can become a source of income for them. As a continuation of the series of vocational trainings provided by the Syrian Society for Social Development in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund / Syria in a safety space to support and empower women in Aleppo, a number of vocational tool boxes were distributed to the women who received the following trainings:

Manufacture of pastries and sweets, sewing, hairdressing and beauty, dairy and cheese manufacturing, food processing and preservation, wood burning, creams and perfumes preparing.

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
