Desserts and Sweets Course for Women in Damascus
MECC implemented a “Desserts and Sweets” Course for 20 women, ranging in age from 18 to 45, in Damascus to teach them the skills related to oriental and western desserts.
At the end of the training, participants received kits including necessary tools to start working.
One of the participants said that she did not know how to make western or oriental desserts and she used to buy them from the market. Now, she is capable of making desserts on her own.
She said,” I wanted to find a job opportunity at home so I do not leave my little daughters home alone. I already started making “Ma’moul” traditional sweets during religious holidays and distributed them to my friends as a kind of business marketing so my sweets become known to as many people as possible.”
