ARTISAN TESTIMONIALS
“I am a mother of one. I worked on the Mimco Autumn-Winter 2016-17 order as a preparer. This order offered me an opportunity to train and to improve my skills. The income from the order assisted me to supplement my husband’s income and to gain independent economic power which afforded me respect from my husband, who now sees me as a very important partner in his life. I was happy to work on this order.”

“I am a mother of five. I worked on the Mimco Autumn-Winter 2016-17 order as an embroiderer at Artisan.Fashion. I received good income which I used to pay rent and school fees and afford food and other household utilities. The Mimco Autumn-Winter 2016-17 order was quite easy for me which made me enjoy my work throughout the order.”

“I am a married mother of ten. I worked on the Mimco Autumn- Winter 2016-17 order as a beader. Being a mother of many children I worked hard in order to earn more money to meet nutritional needs as well as the education of my children. The order was a bit challenging especially the measurement and finishing of the crown crane. I got on-the-job training which enabled me to perform on the order.”
