The cooperative allows her to have a creative outlet. It also enables her to empower others in her same living conditions. She hopes one day that their products become popular enough that her, and her other female colleagues, can build a large cooperative headquarters. So that they may embrace all the tribesmen who were not fortunate enough to complete their studies, thus preserving their cultural heritage from extinction.

She also wishes to help her sick husband and mother-in-law. Especially, as the cost of living and medicine increases.
She dreams of achieving great profits and for the cooperative to build a headquarters that helps her and the women of the tribe to show their qualifications and refine them. She wants to live comfortably with her daughters and her husband .
