HIYAM MUHSIN
With only a grade school education and very little work experience, Hiyam was suddenly faced with the responsibility of supporting her family when her husband became disabled in 1997. Though she had dreamed of attending college and having a successful career, her traditional marriage prevented her from fulfilling those dreams. In 2009 she learned about the opportunity to become trained in candle-making, and for Hiyam, this opportunity has launched a career.
