Özlem's story
Özlem is a 29-year-old entrepreneur who is married and raising two children. A university graduate, Özlem completed her accounting degree and entered the workforce, but had to leave her job after getting married and having children.
As her children grew older and her financial worries increased, Özlem, unable to find work, began making and selling her own handicrafts at home.
With the support she receives from Kiva, she wants to purchase craft supplies and produce more products.
