One of the young women showing the skills she has acquired.
Another Hope Children’s Ministries started the project of skilling young women in 2019 and its implementation has been successful through the support of different people. The young women benefiting from this project offer different courses which include;- Tailoring and Fashion Design, Early Childhood Development, Hair Dressing and Cosmetology and Catering at Cogswell School of Beauty Art and Design. Tailoring and Fashion Design is one of the courses with the highest number of students. Throughout the course of Tailoring and Fashion design, students cover a series of topics from how to use a variety of machines and means of technologies. Taking measurements, pattern making, product design and development, fashion illustration, the use of diverse garments as well as a variety of business, economic and entrepreneurial components. With all these skills, our students are expected to utilize their new tailoring skills to be agents of change and development in their own communities.
BENEFICIARY A
The beneficiary operating a sewing machine.
Beneficiary A is a student from Mayuge District offering a course in tailoring and fashion design. The beneficiary is a young woman of twenty-five years who lives with her husband and three children. She got married in 2010 after she got married when she was still in school (S.2) and her parents refused to pay for her school fees again. Her marriage journey has not been an easy one since she and her husband didn’t complete school and couldn’t get employed anywhere. She always prayed to God for her husband to at least get a job to look after the family and prayed to also get a chance to get trained in tailoring and fashion designing. When she heard of the opportunity Another Hope Children’s Ministries had for young women, she agreed with her husband to enroll and the husband to take care of the children during school time. The beneficiary has so far completed for far 6 months of training in tailoring and has greater hopes for the future since the skills she is acquiring are going to help her become an agent of change starting with her family and then the community as well. She adds that she will go ahead to train other women and girls in her community who didn’t get the chance to be enrolled.
