Impact of Your Gift: Meet Yargelis
Through the WOCCU Economic Inclusion Project, Ms. Yargelis Herrera was able to access business classes, financial services, and seed capital to pursue her dream of self-employment and rebuild her life after she had to flee her home in Venezuela.
"Everything is difficult, but with tenacity, dedication, discipline and responsibility, anything is possible. Now that I have my store in a country that welcomed me, I'm able to have something better than what I had in Venezuela."
