Since its launch in April 2023, the “Moms’ Workshop” in Jinxiu Residential Community, Xiling District, has been bolstering local women’s employment and income with craft-making and home services. In March 2024, Qin Li, leader of the workshop, supported by the Yichang Women’s Federation and other departments, established a partnership with artificial flower manufacturers from Huizhou City, Guangdong Province and elsewhere at home to fulfill overseas assembly orders for handmade artificial flowers. To date, over 800 individuals have joined the venture, with more than 260 community members working regularly. This year, the workshop has secured orders for 9.6 million sets to be exported to countries such as the United States and Canada. The success of the “Moms’ Workshop” model has prompted its expansion to 14 communities, benefiting over 3,000 residents. (Reporters/He Guanying and Gao Yu)
