 Antora actor has used the training she received from CMES and they're reaching the unreached project to improve both her life and the life of other girls and women in her community. 16 year old Antora lives in Tarutia, a village in north central Bangladesh. She had to leave school earlier than she would have liked because of poverty and family circumstances and she knew that without training or education her employment opportunities would be limited. When she heard that CMES was offering free skills training in her area, she immediately went to the local rural technology center to find out more. Antora spoke with a trainer and facilitator at the center to discuss her options. Although she had only basic sewing skills and had never used a sewing machine, she was accepted into the fashion garments trade training. After three months of hard work, she had learned the skills she needed to work as a tailor. She completed an internship in a tailor shop and then started her own tailoring business. Her reputation has grown steadily and so has a number of orders she regularly receives. During Antora's training period, she also learned about topics such as child early enforced marriage, sexual and reproductive health and rights, women's empowerment and HIV and AIDS. All these topics were relevant to her life but she heard about them for the first time at the CMES skills training sessions. She used her knowledge to help raise awareness of and help prevent child marriage in her community and to help women get good antenatal care by taking them to the community clinic. She continues to give back to her community by helping other girls and women improve their sewing skills to earn money. Antora has big dreams for the future and she appreciates everything that CMES and the RTL project has done to help her.
