Today, we continue with another inspiring story from the #EmpowerHerJourney series, showcasing the remarkable journeys of women driving meaningful change in their communities - Amal, weaving threads of hope one stretch at a time. In a modest two-story room tucked along a narrow street in Al Ramtha, Irbid, Amal, a Syrian refugee, sits quietly at her sewing machine. The hum of the machine fills the room, her face softened by a faint smile – a sign that passion has found her again. At 34 years old, Amal is not just working toward a deadline; she is stitching together hope for her family of five. After years of displacement, battles with cancer, and caring for her family alone following her father’s absence in Syria, Amal had almost lost hope. There were days I hated my name – ‘Amal,’ meaning ‘hope.’ It felt like a cruel irony.” Her life took a turn when she heard about a nearby community centre offering a skills training programme. “I didn’t know it at the time, but it changed everything,” Amal said. She joined the ‘Promotion of Sustainable Employment for Jordanians and Syrian Refugees’ project, implemented through the #Trade_for_Employment (T4E) initiative. Through the Core Employability Skills Training (CEST), Amal not only gained practical skills but also found the confidence to excel in interviews and land a job at a local embroidery workshop – just two minutes from her home. “Before, long commutes and transport issues made working nearly impossible. Now, I can provide for my family without that stress,” she added. The project gave her more than just employment; it reignited her dreams. “With this job, I feel like I’m moving closer to continuing my education and undergoing surgery for my cancer treatment.” The Trade for Employment (#T4E) project focuses on developing capacities to enhance the Jordanian companies trade performance and generate additional employment opportunities.
