Success Story

MY DREAM

Mrs. Sohair Gerges is a married housewife and mother of two children. She currently lives in Cairo after moving there from her birthplace in the Sohag governorate in Upper Egypt. In her youth, Sohair had taken some literacy classes however her elder brother opposed she continues her education, furthermore, she was taken out of school and was no longer able to read and write.

Mrs. Sohair attended a public meeting conducted by BLESS about the importance of education and decided that she will participate in literacy classes.

Mrs. Sohair now obtains her official certificate and is incredibly happy that she can now follow up with her children. She later on, worked very well as a secretary and increased her family’s income.
