A training center in New Mexico for women living near the U.S.-Mexican border is providing those of them who never received a formal education with the chance to learn a trade.

In the hope of learning to be economically self-sufficient, Ana Maria Carrillo, a single mother of two, came to the Women’s Intercultural Center in Anthony, New Mexico.

Carrillo, a Mexican immigrant, told Efe that with the Center’s help she managed to reorganize her life, find a job and provide a home for her family.

The Center is a non-profit organization whose main objective is to train women who do not have a formal education so that they can look after themselves.
