Ever met a real-life hero scaling mountains of challenges? 🏔️ Meet Wangtso, a trailblazing woman from the city of Nagqu, perched 4,500 meters above sea level in Tibet!
In many parts of Tibet, women traditionally depend on their husbands for livelihood while they care for the kids. But Wangtso believed differently. \"In many areas of Tibet, women are dependent on their husbands to earn a living while they take care of the children. However, from my own experience, I believe that it is important for women to learn to support themselves and pave their own path in life,\" she shares.
As a single mother of three, life wasn't a walk in the park for her. There were days when selling scrap was the only way to feed her children. 💔 But giving up? Not in her dictionary! Determined to turn things around, she dove into the world of business, despite never having been to school and not speaking Mandarin.
Fast forward, and her grit paid off! 💪 Now, as the co-founder of the \"Nagqu Herding Women's Joint Venture Company,\" she's not just providing for her family but also lifting others along the way. Most of her company's employees are women from disadvantaged families—many single mothers like herself. Together, they're proving that women can control their fate and spark positive change around them. ✨
Wangtso's story is a beacon of hope, lighting the way for women to break free from traditional roles and embrace empowerment. She's not just changing her story but rewriting the narratives of countless women on the Tibetan plateau. 📖❤️
