Bolivia. Before she began the MBS program, Lydia Aguilar was trying to make a small business out of making and selling leather jackets to her neighbors, but ultimately she had no idea how to run a business. Now that she has taken and graduated from the MBS course, she organizes her successfully growing business well.

Now that her business is well-established, Lydia has more time and resources allowing her to help with a community project called “Angel Dresses.” She receives fabric from donated wedding dresses and turns it into white dresses for small children who have passed away in underprivileged families. Her work fulfills Interweave’s dream by making a positive difference in her own life and in her community.
