Tricky to spell, isn't it?
But it's where I live
You've probably never visited my country
And I've never visited yours
But we do have something in common
We want the best lide can offer
For ourselves...
... and for our families.
This is my needle and thread.
It may not look like much...
But it's a powerful tool.
In Kyrgyzstan, women like us
are learning to sew and earn a living.
We're imroving our lives with new business skills
as well as learning to protect our health and that of our families.
We're speaking up for our basic rights
and breaking free from the obstacles we face;
poverty
discrimination
lack of access to health services
and education
Thanks to support from people like you
women like us, who you've never met
from a place you've probably never been
are doing things we never imagined possible
