Eida from a sidewalk vendor in Aden to an exporter to India

Eida from a sidewalk vendor in Aden to an exporter to India

Mrs. Eida began her work in 2009 as a small seller of assorted commodities on the sidewalks of Aden city markets. Investing several loans, the SFD partner Aden Microfinance Foundation, she has been able to develop her business, established a special shop and employed a number of women seeking job opportunities to assist her in sewing and selling cloths. Today, Eida has become an exporter of female cloths and “Abayas” to India, and she buys accessories and re-sells them to smaller traders.
