Today, Rodo sits in a training room in Jaleelo, Somaliland. A measuring tape hangs around her neck. In front of her is a piece of fabric she carefully studies before making each cut. Rodo moves at her own pace. Every cut is measured.
Starting again was not easy. “At first, I felt shy. The others are young. They learn fast. I thought maybe I am too late,” She explained. But she did not give up. She kept coming back.
Day after day, she returned to the classroom. She learned how to measure, cut and sew. Slowly, the sewing machine became easier to use. The fabric started to make sense in her hands. What once felt difficult is now becoming a skill she is growing into with confidence.
