Our tailoring trainees would love to be trained using new professional sewing machines. This will enhance learning as they currently only have access to manually operated, foot-pedal sewing machines. Access to new sewing machines will further broaden their tailoring skills and earning potential for future income-generating opportunities.
Up-to-date tailoring training cannot be provided in this area simply because professional sewing machines are not available. The provision of 6 new sewing machines will enhance learning as trainees will be exposed to and able to use modern, professional-level tailoring equipment.
This microproject will provide the funds needed for purchasing 6 professional sewing machines. This will diversify learning opportunities and enable participants to be better trained and gain a higher level of tailoring skills. The provision of these vital tools will transform their learning abilities.
Youths will be empowered to move from poverty and unemployment to self-sufficiency. It will contribute to youth development in skills for self-reliance and entrepreneurship, creating employment opportunities for disadvantaged youths. Additionally, this will help provide a source of income to support the school as they will be able to produce a higher quality of garments - embroidered, etc.
