Financial constraint as a barrier

This training has really helped me in my life. My most memorable experience was when I got to meet new people. I really liked communicating with other women. I started my training in 2013. I was able to attend all three phases in this course. I really loved the way the course was presented. Everyone was so kind. They were very helpful! I did not face any issue to attend this training. In fact, it was very easy. I was provided with all the facilities needed to attend this training. Thanks to GL! Before this training, I was a housewife. I did all household chores. I am still at home. I have not started my business yet. It is quite difficult for me to set up my business. I am not obtaining my work permit. It is also very hard for me to find money to start it. I do not have enough savings. This training has helped me morally. I was able to develop my knowledge and creativity. I learned how to make a business plans. The basics to start a business were taught. I got the opportunity to learn many things! I now know how to record my profit and expenses. However, I believe this training should have also helped me financially. I find it tough to access financial resources. I do not have the means to start my business. It is very frustrating! I have never been a victim of violence. My husband did not beat me. The lessons learned in this training were very motivating.  This provided us with an idea of the future. It helped us understand that women can also make a move in their life. In the future, I would like to open my business. I would like to sell snacks. I believe I will achieve it one day. I will continue following my dreams. It is possible that right now financial issues are a constraint, but I am sure that one day all these barriers will be removed. I will be able to realise this dream!
