This past month, we partnered with another organization where our lead sewer trained two of their seamstresses on pads. After a 4 hour day training, they each left with packs of pads they themselves produced. It was a hit! With their newfound knowledge, they will train young girls and women at a summer camp in Central Plateau. We are very excited about the potential and impact that this project can have and we are proud that others will have access to reusable pads in this region. We’re hoping that we can continue to partner with like minded organizations and that this model can be replicated around the country.
Additionnaly, ten sewing machines arrived last week in the artisanat workshop. This means we get to train and employ 20 more women from the surrounding communities and produce more pads. We couldn’t be more thrilled! Since April, we produced 4,000 pads and sold 450 pads. We distributed a majority of these pads on Mother’s Day and at multiple local events that we’ve sponsored in the community.
