Today I am very happy!
A group of women could participate in the first sewing workshop. It was an excellent opportunity for them to learn the basics of sewing. There was a large audience of teenage girls, seeing in these workshops an opportunity for autonomy.
This first workshop will be replicated to other communities in the coming weeks.
Moreover, during a fair, they were able to present their art to the whole population and thus generate a new economic income for their family and above all for their own independence.
Presentation in schools (especially in secondary levels) will be done, so that more girls can benefit from these trainings.
One of the future activities is the creation of the sewing center, run only by women!
Thank you all for your support !
