Saba Al Sadr

Saba's Story I've been interested in computer programming ever since I started needing to use simple softwares like excel to project finances for a humanitarian income-generating NGO project I used to manage. This was done in coordination with financial officers. I also took interest in web development as I am trying to develop my own online hub for refugee and impoverished artisans that have gone through cycles of training with little promise of employability due to lack of marketing and resources. As my mission is to give coherent tools to women who wish to manage their own micro-businesses, it made the most sense that I provide assistance where it helps them the most, and that is primarily in planning beyond their demand, such as financial projections that determine when they can prioritize purchasing supplies and restocking their inventories before paying rent. I believe that this assistance should be made easy and available to the most marginalized members of our community, or at least brought to them by someone who can attain those skills on their behalf and have access to the internet in the event that they can't. As I am one person, assisting women will be something I do on the side while I find a more permanent job in coding.
