The icing on the cake 🎂
Grace joined Eliashib Restoration Organization , Zambia, as a tailoring trainee in 2019. She completed her training and started earning money from her sewing skills.
Then Grace wondered how she might make money between tailoring jobs. She decided, "Whenever I don't have customers for sewing, I can make cakes."
Grace perfected her baking skills and began selling her creations. She currently runs a successful tailoring business which she has expanded into cake baking and event décor services.
This year Grace has returned to Eliashib as an instructor; she is passing on her baking skills to our current cohort of catering trainees.
By using her tailoring, baking and cake decorating skills, Grace has diversified her income and is able to support her family. She told us, "Where my husband isn’t working, it's through these skills that I am able to care for my household and children."
