Dopévi, Yema, Magnim, Akouvi and Rafiétou are professional tailors. As hearing-impaired people, however, they hardly have a chance on the Togolese labour market. Fortunately, Jeanine Kinvi became aware of them. She decided to found the tailoring shop HAN DESIGN and hired the five women. It was not always easy, but it soon became clear that all the efforts had paid off. For the first time, the seamstresses feel appreciated and properly understood. The colleagues have long since become friends who are there for each other and now want to help other hearing-impaired people.
