Nazhat was ready to give up on her dreams until she realized her daughters would face the same destiny. So she decided to make changes that would benefit the whole family. Today Nazhat makes beautiful candles for local and international clients. Her daughters have graduated from college and her husband supports her entrepreneurial aspirations.

"I am a new woman who can work and support others, the woman that I always loved and dreamed to be." - Nazhat Hadi, August 2015
