A Professional Sewing Machine For Ramatu

Ramatu would love to be trained using a new professional sewing machine. This will enhance her learning as she currently only has access to manually operated, foot-pedal sewing machines. Access to a new sewing machine will further broaden her tailoring skills and earning potential for future income-generating opportunities.

Challenge

Ramatu was unemployed before coming to our tailoring school. She has learned to do basic sewing using a foot-pedal machine. Up-to-date tailoring training cannot be provided for her simply because professional sewing machines are not available at our school. The provision of a new sewing machine will enhance learning as Ramatu will be exposed to and able to use modern, professional-level tailoring equipment.

Solution

This microproject will provide the funds needed for purchasing one professional sewing machine. This will diversify learning opportunities and enable Ramatu to be better trained and gain a higher level of tailoring skills. The provision of this vital tool will transform her learning abilities.

Long-Term Impact

Ramatu will be empowered to move from poverty and unemployment to self-sufficiency. It will contribute to her development in skills for self-reliance and entrepreneurship, creating employment opportunities for Ramatu. Additionally, this will help provide a source of income to support the school as she will be able to produce a higher quality of garments - embroidered, etc.
