Founding Story
Team
Founder of Color Silk Enterprise
No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Responsible Consumption and Production.
I has a strong facilitation skill, strong business concept as well as networking while working with private companies and NGOs to lead many projects related to rural development and career development. I am good at communication with different types of people in community level and project team level. The project brings new methods and updated designs to local weaving community to reply to markets’ need. I am one of the women from rural , so I understand the plight of the women and people in these villages and I am committed to improving the lives of entire communities of people through weaving work because community women lack of necessary hard and soft skills to earn a living; and illiteracy among them is another issue. Even with the auspices of skills development trainings, it's hard to communicate and the message being conveyed is hard to get crossed because of low education. It takes patience, persistence and time to improve them. My passionate about empowering these women and young girls by training them and creating paths for entrepreneurship and i finally create new methodology by development women silk products for internal market need.
