Merina: A Mother Building a Better Future

Merina is a devoted mother of three children who joined the NCCT Batik Training Program with the hope of improving her family’s future. Determined to gain practical skills that could generate income, she embraced the opportunity to learn batik production.

Throughout the course, Merina showed commitment, resilience, and enthusiasm. She successfully learned the art of batik making and developed the confidence to produce quality products that can be marketed within her community.

By equipping herself with vocational skills, she is creating new opportunities to support her family while serving as an example of perseverance and hard work.
