Nusaiba’s Food Business Is Thriving Thanks to Her New Skills

Meet Nusaiba. She recently completed our sewing course and our English language course. Both courses are supported by UNICEF and offered through our local partner Ibda’a Wa Najah Association in Akkar, Lebanon. She’s already making use of her new sewing skills to add an artful presentation to the preserved foods, or mouneh, that she makes and sells with her mother.
