Hysnie, a skilled tailor from the Ashkali community in Ferizaj/Uroševac, encountered challenges in growing her business and providing for her family due to outdated equipment. The EU-funded Community Stabilisation Programme, which supports entrepreneurs in the region, assisted Hysnie with her tailoring business, enabling her to contribute to the local economy. 

Equipped with state-of-the-art sewing machines, Hysnie was able to cater to a larger client base and produce more intricate designs. As her business flourished, it not only generated income for her family but also created employment opportunities for other community members. By fostering the growth of small businesses like Hysnie's, the local economy benefits from increased trade and a stronger sense of community. 

Hysnie's success serves as an inspiring example for other aspiring entrepreneurs, particularly women, in the Ashkali community in Ferizaj/Uroševac. As more women become economically empowered, their increased independence and influence can help challenge traditional gender norms and promote social inclusion. 

Moreover, the growth of Hysnie's business encourages other community members to invest in their own enterprises and develop their skills. This entrepreneurial spirit can lead to a diverse and thriving local economy that offers a variety of goods and services to the community, ultimately improving their overall quality of life. 

Hysnie's story highlights the transformative power of empowering women and fostering entrepreneurship. By supporting Hysnie's business, the EU-funded Community Stabilisation Programme has not only uplifted her family but also contributed to the economic and social development of the entire community. As a result, Hysnie's success showcases the positive impact of investing in women entrepreneurs and fostering economic growth at the local level.
