Dear Project Supporters,
After the Ebola Epidemic, Develop Africa Sierra Leone set up a Tailoring Training Center for young ladies with the objective of helping young girls to learn sewing skills, empower themselves and become self-reliant. Your ongoing support has helped multiple vocational trainees get the training they need to be self-reliant. Mabinty tells us in this video how vocational training has helped her.
Hello, my name is Mabinty. I have been part of this Tailoring Training Centre since the Ebola outbreak. I really appreciate you all for your support. During the course of the Ebola outbreak, I lost my family. After the Ebola outbreak, I knew I needed to do something to provide for myself. So I became a part of the Tailoring Training Centre and I have been acquiring sewing skills. I want to say thank you because now I can sew shirts, I sew coats, I can sew men clothes, I sew women clothes and different styles and in return for my service to people, I have been paid which helps me to meet my needs. I appreciate that and I want to tell them thank you for what they have done for me. The other 20 students and I work hard and really appreciate the training. It is because of this opportunity that I have the training I need. I want to say thank you to you, I really appreciate it and I thank you for all you have done for me.
We welcome your continued support in making a difference in the lives of more vocational students. We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
With great appreciation,
Amy & the Develop Africa Team
