1. What is your role at Ndara?

I am a seamstress here at Ndara. I work on all the products, but I am extra good at the bags, pouches and the foldable baskets. I am also really fast at making bathrobes, especially the short sleeved model. One week a month, I manage the boutique, but I am an assistant at the moment. I don’t know how to read or write, so I can’t be responsible for the shop and make invoices - but I am learning!
