It's been an amazing year of progress. Over the past year, the Tailoring school at the Develop Africa Empowerment and Training Institute has provided Tailoring training for over 18 trainees. The topics covered include the following styles: Midi, Blouse and Skirt, Print, Float, Tuntorlah, Yoruba style, Sleeveless, Shirts and Pants.
Productivity, Growth and No More Idleness: Thanks to your support, as a result of the training received, the ladies no longer pay someone else to sew clothes for their children, themselves and their husbands. They are no longer idle. They have started obtaining small tailoring jobs – that help in providing for the home.
Thanks to your support, Mariama, one of the trainees, is now an expert tailor. At video link below Mariama tells her story. Her husband lost his job and Mariama was not able to continue her apprenticeship. She needed help and we together came to her aid. This footage captures her tailoring skills and her Instructor's gratitude to YOU. Thanks to your support, she is well on her way and self-sufficient.

Thanks so much for helping to make a huge difference in Mariama's life.
