Vesta is one of the students trained at Hakizetu, a women and youth organisation in Tanzania.
21-year-old Vesta lives with her seven siblings and their aunty.
After dropping out of secondary school without any grades, she decided that she needed to take control of her life and find employment.
Her aunty persuaded her to apply to Hakizetu and train as a tailor. She quickly developed a passion and natural ability for sewing and designing clothes.
Vesta joined the programme in July 2024 and has already completed her practical work experience by working and training with a local tailor.
Together with two of her friends and fellow trainees, she is determined to start her own business.
Upon completion of their training, the group will be given two sewing machines as well as initial start-up funds to cover the cost of rent for a small workshop for the first few months.
Vesta aims to own her own successful business and wants to train other girls in tailoring and design.
In her words:
Like Vesta, nearly all graduates of the projects we support give back by training other young people through their business.
