CRECIENDO

Juntarnos, apoyarnos, entrenamientos, colaboración.

Huda Hirsi has long dreamed of living in a safe place and working to support her loved ones. With sponsorship from her sister, Huda and her family were able to come to the U.S. from Somalia in 2007. Through determination and dedication, Huda obtained her child care license and started an in-home day care.

Recently, she participated in a Childcare Accelerator Award Program presented by the Center for Rural Affairs Women’s Business Center (WBC), Stearns Bank, and the Association of Women's Business Centers.

Because of the program, Huda can properly organize her business finances, and she’s been able to save money to invest in her day care. The program also offered participants a stipend to use on their business.

“I learned a lot and it helped me to understand finances and how to get my certificates. After learning on my computer how to plan, I can have a little bit [of money] to help in my business. I am very happy about that. Now, [I have] confidence, and I am ready for everything! ” –Huda Hirsi
