Support our Stitch & Learn program in South Africa, which teaches unemployed women sewing and business skills. Your donation helps us provide sewing machines, materials, and qualified instructors. Together, we can empower women with the tools to build small businesses, earn an income, and transform their lives through sustainable skill-based education. We also help fund our non-profit business that employs graduates to help them utilise their skills after graduation - key element to our project.
Imagine being born in a community where you are expected as a woman to drop out of education at a young age, look to start a family and learn to run a house. South Africa faces high unemployment among women, especially in underserved communities like ours. Without access to skills training or mentorship, many are unable to find jobs or support their families. The cycle of poverty and inequality continues without long-term solutions rooted in empowerment. They need a helping hand to step up
Your gift funds our sewing training center for women. We offer classes in sewing, patternmaking, and basic business management. With access to equipment and mentorship, women learn to create and sell garments, becoming entrepreneurs or securing work. Donations support rent, materials, and instructors to keep the program running. By donating to this program we can keep the lights on, machine sewing and women learning month to month and change lives. This centre is a safe and critical resource
Providing a mass skillshare program and startup loans and support to women this project is tackling the poverty cycle as well as gender inequality in the community as more women become successful in business. Job creation also has a huge long-term impact, as these businesses grow there are more opportunities to employ other women in the community, together we can develop communities and empower women
