Meet Rossy

Rossy is a very talented and hard worker who has been a great encouragement to everyone at Global Effect. When we first met Rossy, her and her husband were both out of work but very eager to find a new job. They have 2 daughters who they were not able to properly provide for as they lived day to day, not knowing when their next meal would be. Rossy had been a seamstress in the past and really wanted to find a similar job. Global Effect was able to start a sewing coop where Rossy and her friend could work, sewing products that could then be sold in the United States. Since the first day that Rossy was able to work at the coop, she has always gone above and beyond with everything she does.  With the income of her new job, she has been able to add a small room and make improvements to her home, purchase a computer that her daughter needed for school, and simply provide for her family on a day to day basis.
Rossy is a great example of many other people all over the world who are willing to work but simply do not have the chance to do so. At Global Effect, we believe that if we can continue to equip people with the opportunity to work, communities can truly be transformed.
