#Hear from Her: Aspire to inspire

#聽她的話:燃亮他人

Mother of 3, Abeer wishes to inspire more women
育有三個小孩的 Abeer 希望用她的能力創造更多勢燃亮他人的機會

Abeer came to Hong Kong from India during her teenage years which drastically changed her perspective in life. She noticed instances of discriminations that went against her image of Hong Kong, “We expect that Hong Kong is a multicultural city. So, when you say multicultural how come you exclude other countries’ people”.  She sought for a sense of community but found Hong Kong to be isolating for her initially.

Leaving her old routines, comfort and community in India, she worked hard to find her way in Hong Kong. She describes herself as an introvert but after working on her first job and living independently in Hong Kong for several years, she gained the confidence to face challenges head on. Over the years, she invested her energy in supporting many women and new arrivals like her through the adjustment period and by providing further support in different aspects.

Abeer simultaneously cared for her three children and her work passionately. Now, she hopes to gain a degree and eventually start her own NGO. She wants to learn about entrepreneurship in order to put her ideas into action because she believes the success of her children, her family and her career are interlinked.

There are hundreds of stories like Abeer’s in Hong Kong.The opportunities offered to underprivileged, ethnic minority, full-time mother’s have always been few and far inbetween. These women are talented, intelligent and motivated.

The Moms4Moms fellowship program seeks to teach entrepreneurship skills to inspired women like Abeer. The program will not only level the playing field for them, but also offer to Hong Kong the chance to see the talent they have to offer.

教育是真正賦權的關鍵。Abeer期待能獲得學位及開啟自己非弁利團體

Abeer在她少年時從印度來到香港,這徹底改變了她的人生觀。作為香港的少數族裔,她注意到在這裡歧視的情況與她想像中香港的形象相反,「我們期望的香港是一個多元文化城市。但當你說是多元文化時,怎能排斥其他國家的人呢?」 她尋求著一種社群意識,但發現香港在最初的時候與她隔絕。

她放下了以前的日常,離開了在印度的舒適區和社區,努力地在香港找自己的出路。她形容自己是一個性格內向的人,但在從事第一份工作加上在香港獨立生活了幾年之後,她有了信心面對挑戰。多年來,她透過適應的階段並在各個方面提供支援,投入了不少精力去支持很多婦女和像她這樣的新到港人士。

Abeer在照顧她的三個孩子的同時亦充滿熱情地工作。現在,她希望能夠獲得學位並開創自己的非弁利團體。她想學習有關企業家精神的知識,使自己的想法能夠付諸實踐,因為她相信孩子、家庭和事業的成功是互相掛勾的。

Abeer的故事只是在香港有數百個當中的其中之一。社會給弱勢群體,少數民族,全職母親提供的機會一直很少,而且彼此之間也相去甚遠。這些婦女有才華,聰明和幹勁。

Moms4Moms媽媽創業家培訓計劃旨在向像Abeer這樣受啟發的女性教授創業技能。該計劃不僅為他們提供了公平的競爭環境,而且還為香港提供了機會,了解他們必須提供的人才。
