Thanks to CIS/SEW, there are empowered women in my community

The CIS has been a very significant experience for me. It has opened doors in different areas. For example, thanks to CIS I can study at the university.

I have learned so much in the different scholarship workshops that educate our families and teach us about themes from a different perspective, including sensitive topics – which no one else does. In my community thanks to CIS/SEW  there are empowered women – there are a dairy business and a bakery.

Personally, CIS is the best thing that has happened to me – I have met many people that have left a footprint on my life. I am super thankful that through CIS I have learned about the environment in the School for Solidarity and Social Transformation.

There is no way to say thanks for everything I have received.
