Hi There,
19 months ago we setup a skills centre in the local township school with a priority focused on women that had been forced to drop out of school at a young age, start a family and been stuck in the home. Now their children are a bit older we wanted to run a skills program where these women came in and learnt how to sew.
Going from zero to business women, meet Dorcus, our amazing teacher who worked with 6 women for 12 months and now two of these women was given a small business grant to buy a sewing machine and some material, now they are selling items to the local tourist markets and are the main income provider for their family.
This was made possible with your donations for us to offer both women a $500 grant and now they are fully sustainable and fighting poverty in their own community. It's so amazing to see and we hope to be able to help more as the training programs rramp up in 2024!
Thank You,
Ty
