SEWING/TAILORING BUSINESSES


After training 100 women, the 4 most accomplished were awarded sewing machines to start their own businesses. During the education program, 2500 handmade school bags were made from an eco-friendly material and distributed to 12 government schools in different areas.  See the kids faces? They love them!  One of the women who earned a sewing machine said, “My husband was willing to drop [out] my daughter from school in order to save the school expenses. By this project I am now capable to pay the school fees for my daughters, I feel that I saved my children and provided them a secured future.” Such wonderful stories you get to be a part of!
