We at Rubia believe that empowerment of  — not violence towards —women and girls is the key to progress in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  Rubia salutes Malala Yousafzai   for her bravery in speaking out for girls’ education in Pakistan. May the power of this 14 year old’s voice echo and revolutionize girls’ education in the region.

Rubia's Sewing Confidence program received a $5,000 grant from TD Charitable Foundation to pilot a new business management training series for seamstresses. "Confidence with Money, Business Management"  will run from January to June, 2013.
