AYU ENTREPRENEURS
This past year (2017) has been one in which all of our ladies have successfully learned to sew on a sewing machine. Your support of this project allowed us to buy each of them a machine and increase their skills so that they can have yet another source of income, in addition to Ayu Sewing Project if they so desire. Our ultimate goal is to teach them skills that they can use the rest of their lives, regardless of what the future holds for Ayu Sewing Project. Several of the ladies have discovered that they absolutely love to sew and create new things! To encourage them to continue to create new things, we decided to design a special page on the website just for them, so that they could sell their unique products. These are different from Ayu products, because the entrepreneur buys her own material, creates her own product, and sets her own price. In addition, the entrepreneur will get 100% of the profits of anything she sells from this page. So, please show your support of these women and their creativity by purchasing something they have poured their heart and souls into!
SUSIESusie is a precious young lady with 2 young children. Her husband is not always as supportive as he should be with the family finances, so she is always looking for extra ways to make money when she has time. As soon as Susie learned how to sew, she began to look up ideas on Pinterest and create new products like different kinds of purses. She was the first one that gave us this idea of allowing each lady to specialize in their own personal products. She gets so excited and can't believe it when people buy her products. . .it is such a boost to her self esteem and confidence! So if you like Susie's products, please support her by buying one of them below.

EKAEka is a wife and mother of three very active, yet incredibly sweet boys. She has known how to sew for several years now, and absolutely loves it! From the beginning, she began creating her own products. I would see her come to our house with a purse she had made, or I would see a patchwork quilt table runner at her house made from scrap material. One time she even came over wearing a shirt made out of old place mat material!! She is super creative and ambitious, and is also always looking for ways to make extra money. So, if you would like to support Eka and her precious family, please purchase one of her unique products below.

SUTIARSutiar is very sweet, outgoing, and a hard worker. When we met Sutiar, she was making beautiful woven baskets out of plastic and was only paid about ten cents per basket that took her almost an hour to make. Now that she works for AYU, she no longer needs to make these baskets for the factory. However, since she still has the skills to make them, she would like to offer some of them as her unique products. If you would like to support her, her ill husband and her young son, please purchase one of her products below.
