Giving Tuesday is coming up on 28 November and GlobalGiving is giving away $1.2 million in bonus funds!!
The more money we raise that day through donations to our projects, the greater our share of the bonus funds.
Can you help us by donating on Tuesday 28th November?
Sewing is a life changing skill for women in Afghanistan. A woman who has a tailoring qualification can make clothes for her family and friends and set up a home business sewing for others. The length of sewing course varies from 3 to 9 months depending on what level of tailoring is needed.
Women gain more than a practical skill they gain self-confidence and a belief in their own capacity to learn. They also gain the respect of the family for their skill and their capacity to earn money. Women often go on to take other classes at centers such as literacy. AIL also offers carpet weaving, embroidery and nut weaving all of which are traditional Afghan crafts.
In September, there were 533 sewing students at AIL Learning Centers across Afghanistan.
Thank you for supporting Afghan women.
