Sponsor a Woman's Sewing Training in South Africa

Introduction 

Our goal with this project is to give training and skills to women in townships across South Africa, allowing them access to new job opportunities and earn themselves an income. This will empower women as they will no longer have to rely on their husbands for money as well as creating jobs, in the long run, to increase employment in these areas and boost the economy.

Report 

We provided training to women through a 6-week program where they learned to sew, cook or work on a computer. This will helped them to boost their CV so that they were more able to find employment and look after themselves and their family. After the 6-weeks women were required to volunteer and mentor the next group, making the program more sustainable. A donation of $10 provides transport for one women to attend a 2 week workshop.

Thank you for your support.

Introduction 

Life in a township is difficult at the best of times and even more so for women in particular. High levels of gender inequality mean that women are unable to work or earn an income. Pre COVID-19 South Africa had an alarming number of cases of unemployment and today the figures are critical meaning many people are left without a home or food. In November 2020 we started our women empowerment project again and we are now starting to teach sewing lessons and soon will extend to catering and computing. By providing skills training and CV support we hope to empower these women and give them a sense of independence as well as a source of income

A donation of $50 will provide the resources for one woman to complete a sewing course which will result in 3 items she is able to sell afterwards.
