For a Refugee Woman, the Ability to Work is Everything

On:

My name is Sama. I was born in Iran and studied embroidery. In my home country I was working from home, promoting my products in the market.

When I came to Greece, I immediately looked to find a job, but it was very difficult for me. I didn't know the language and didn't have a circle of acquaintances, so it was impossible for me to promote the work on my own. Then I looked to embroider for other shops, but the positions offered to me were not worth it. The amount of work was huge, the time required to complete it was short and the money was the minimum.

After getting trained in tailoring too, I started working at Rain Lab. It's great because it's not only related to my studies, but I'm in a beautiful working environment, with a nice atmosphere and behavior from my colleagues. I still remember the first time I entered Rain Lab and felt the warm atmosphere!

"With my income we will be able to live with my husband in our own apartment."

For a refugee woman - like me - being able to work is everything! With the income I earn, I feel strong and independent. I do not rely on charity for my food or other goods, which other people decide whether or not they are a priority for me, a refugee.

Today I live with my husband in an apartment, of which we own only one room. The rest of the spaces are shared and crowded. I am very excited that I can now raise money so that we can rent our own apartment and thus have privacy and peace of mind.

I love Greece and feel it like a second mother-homeland.
