In homes across Malaysia, women who once struggled to find financial independence are now stitching their way to empowerment, thanks to this social enterprise founded by Yap Sue Yii. It provides a lifeline to homemakers, single mothers and other underserved communities by offering them sewing opportunities that turn their sewing skills into a means of financial independence. We chat with Sue Yii to hear how a simple idea, fueled by heart and determination, has changed lives, one stitch at a time.
