Stone of goodness
Najlaa doesn’t believe in poverty and its obstacles to stop her from chasing her dreams; rather, it was a motivation for her to search for solutions. In the end, she comes across Nama'a Small and Microfinance Foundation. She applied for funding from Nama'a Foundation to purchase equipment and machinery specifically for agate work, in addition to buying various and diverse agate stones. She makes her work expand to her family, involving her husband and children, and now they are assisting her in agate-related work, such as cutting and refining agate stones and removing any soil or regular rocks surrounding them. With time, her work gained the admiration of many and expanded her agate industry project. She started exporting her beautiful stones to different countries after successfully selling her stones in the local markets. Therefore, thanks to Allah, the funding became the key to hope and success that lifted Najlaa out of the pit of poverty into the field of sustenance and goodness, gradually changing her life for the better. Najlaa plans for the future to have extra funding to further expand her project in order to be able to purchase the remaining equipment needed to open her own store.
