However, we don’t have the necessary technical and vocational education and so, we want for the U.S government to empower we the rural women with vocational skills. We also want people who will train us in business management because what we are doing here is just from hand to mouth business. Lastly, we also want funding to improve our business. If the U.S government can provide another opportunity and ensure that we have funding and materials with the skills that we will acquired, we can make the difference,” she concluded.
