Significant Changes in Self-Esteem

Significant Changes in Self-Efficacy

Absa is a talented bag maker, but it wasn’t until she attended the WE Project’s Fabric Painting course that Absa recognized her abilities and gained confidence to earn money from her craft. Absa reports having earned approximately Rs. 50,000 making and selling her own bags since taking the course, an achievement she says was only possible after developing confidence in herself and her abilities, through participating in the WE Project’s course. “Before, my life was just about preparing food, and taking care of my children and my husband. It’s only after joining this painting class that I got courage. I started a shop with a group of other students that studied this course, in Adimali. It’s the Life Enrichment Education along with this course that gave me this [courage].”As a result of her increased earning capacity, Absa has also expanded her sense of independence. Before the WE course, she was not comfortable to travel anywhere (even 2 km away) by herself. Now, she has no issues with travelling alone.
