It (tailoring) is a good skill and a person with skills helps him or herself. This program is for women and they are the ones suffering with families in South Sudan so if they are given skills, it will enable them to help their children and family,\u201d he said. \u201cI urge the women to encourage themselves to learn more because this training is very important and the women who got this opportunity, should complete it successfully and help themselves and other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his part, the Program Director of the Women for Change Organization, Atem Philip, explained that the project\u2019s primary objective is to provide women with the knowledge needed to sustain their livelihoods. He said women are the most affected group by economic challenges resulting from conflicts, cattle raiding, and natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe training will close the economic gap in the families by generating resources and sustaining their living in the market,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe skills the participants learn after the training will make them have financial freedom from their husbands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe benefit will be seen when these women can take their children to school, provide food for their families, and meet their medical bills,\u201d Atem added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mathiang Madut, a trainer for Women for Change, said the training will include machine operation, cloth cutting, and measurement of clothes among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis training is so helpful and I completed it in 2012 myself,\u201d he said. \u201cIt has supported me in here Kuajok all these years and I pay for my school fees and feed my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A trainee, Nyanut Mayar Akuei, thanked the organization for initiating the training and said it would help them in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will get money from tailoring and feed my family,\u201d she said. \u201cI thank the organization for providing the training because one cannot depend on a husband alone but also provide support at home when they have skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another trainee, Abak Ajang, said she believes the tailoring course will change her life for the better and encouraged other women to enroll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call other women to come and get trained because, after the training, I will work in the market and get money to pay school fees and buy food for the family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
