Lillian seemed to have reached the end of her hope: First, she had to flee with her family from South Sudan to Uganda because of the civil war. Then, she and her five children were abandoned by her husband, the father of her children, when he married another woman. Another woman took them in for a few months, but then her husband also sent them away. Without money for rent, they found refuge in an unfinished, abandoned building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Lillian didn't give up hope. She worked hard, earning enough to survive by washing clothes and selling empty bottles. A friend told her about our training school, and she enrolled in the tailoring program. By December 2022, she had completed her training and received her certificate. She saved enough until she could afford to buy a sewing machine and started sewing and selling cushions and children's clothing.
Now, a year later, Lillian rents a proper apartment and can afford to pay school fees for all her children. Food and medicine are no longer major concerns. She even trains five other single mothers in her neighborhood in tailoring! \"I thank God for all he has done for me.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Lillian schien am Ende ihrer Hoffnung angekommen: Erst musste sie mit ihrer Familie wegen dem B\u00fcrgerkrieg aus S\u00fcdsudan nach Uganda fliehen. Dann wurden sie und ihre f\u00fcnf Kinder von ihrem Mann, dem Vater ihrer Kinder, versto\u00dfen als er eine andere Frau heiratete. Eine andere Frau nahm sie f\u00fcr einige Monate auf, aber dann schickte dessen Mann sie auch wieder fort. Ohne Geld f\u00fcr Miete fanden sie Zuflucht in einem unfertigen, verlassenen Geb\u00e4ude. Lillian gab aber die Hoffnung nicht auf, sie arbeitete hart und verdiente durch W\u00e4sche waschen und dem Verkauf von leeren Flaschen genug zum \u00dcberleben. Eine Freundin erz\u00e4hlte ihr von unserer Ausbildungsschule, und sie meldete sich f\u00fcr die Schneiderausbildung an. Im Dezember 2022 war sie fertig und bekam ihr Abschlusszeugnis. Sie sparte genug bis sie sich eine N\u00e4hmaschine kaufen konnte und fing an Kissen und Kinderkleidung zu n\u00e4hen und zu verkaufen. Jetzt, ein Jahr sp\u00e4ter, mietet Lillian eine richtige Wohnung und kann die Schulgeb\u00fchren f\u00fcr alle ihre Kinder bezahlen, Essen und Medizin sind keine gro\u00dfen Probleme mehr. Und sie bildet sogar f\u00fcnf andere alleinerziehende M\u00fctter in ihrer Nachbarschaft im Schneidern aus!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1743,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1742"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1745,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1742\/revisions\/1745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
