One Stitch at a Time: Tailoring for Young People

We are delighted to share an encouraging milestone made possible by your support! In June 2026, 20 young women completed their tailoring training and progressed to industrial attachment, where they are gaining practical experience and turning their skills into income-generating opportunities.

Through the One Stitch at a Time project, we are seeing young women move beyond the limitations of poverty towards greater independence. It is heartening to know that the skills they have acquired are enabling them to generate income, support themselves and contribute to their families’ wellbeing. Each step towards earning an income is an opportunity to change the poverty narrative and build a more secure future.

Your generous support helped make this possible by providing sewing machines, fabric and other sewing materials, transport fares, trainer stipends, and food for the trainees. These resources ensured that the young women could participate in training, develop practical skills, and prepare for the world of work.

Thank you for investing in the potential of these young women. Your support is helping turn skills into livelihoods, restore hope, and create pathways towards economic independence. One stitch at a time, we are building a future where young women can support themselves, strengthen their families, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
