Yasmine turned her dream into reality by relying on no one but herself. She started selling home gadgets and personal accessories after obtaining a fund from Microfund for Women.
Due to harsh living conditions, Yasmine was motivated to turn her life around by starting a business that she would live off of; that is when she sought the help of Microfund for Women to help her on her journey.
The 37-year-old said she markets for her business between her neighbors and relatives in As-Salt and used the profit to pay for her financial commitments and day-to-day needs.
