Unfortunately, COVID-19 was a hard time for my project, but at that time, I joined Microfund for Women to expand my project. As my business expanded, my project got bigger until I won in a tourism contest from Microfund for Women, I was rewarded with very extensive training and 5000 JDs interest free loan. The first thing I did was expand the shop and make some changes to the products we sell. I also bought more thobes (traditional Arab dresses). The highlight of my project is that I am teaching many men and women all over Jordan about our heritage, so my project is helping support and provide
opportunities for other people too.
