Profiles

Every so often we will present the successful achievements of the women we have worked with. This section is your chance to follow their progress.

Gabriela Gabriela
Gabriela was a strong leader of women with disabilities in Oaxaca, Mexico. She died in 1996. Gabriela's vision was that all women had a right to an education and opportunities for employment. Many women with disabilities in Oaxaca have no education beyond grammar school and no opportunities for employment. WILI supports Gabriela's dream of a restaurant in Oaxaca that would be owned and managed by women with disabilities.
Rosa Rosa
Rosa lives in a small pueblo near Oaxaca City. She is a talented seamstress who wants to be able to make clothes and then sell them in her village. She is very skilled in embroidery! Rosa hopes to open a small shop where she can also sell fabric, thus being able to buy fabric at a discount for her own sewing needs.
Crese Rosa
Crese lives in Oaxaca City and is a hard worker who has demonstrated an ability to cook. She has a dream of coming to the United States to work six months as a trainee in a restaurant. WILI hopes to obtain the funds to enable Crese's dream to come true.
