Dilorom Yuldosheva, Uzbekistan
Seamstress and businesswoman
Two years ago, Dilorom Yuldosheva lost both legs in a harvesting accident. But that did not stop her from dreaming big.
She wanted to learn new skills while also helping young Uzbek women make a living, so she decided to set up her own sewing business.
She learnt the basics of entrepreneurship and resource management and went on to train more than 40 apprentices. Within months, her company grew significantly, running free workshops and securing contracts to produce uniforms for workers and school children.
Her business has since become a source of income for her and dozens of other women. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-4f79d09b-655a-42f8-82b4-9b2ecebab611
