Yayasan Usaha Mulia (YUM) realizes that as the world changes constantly, the support that YUM has from donors and partners could also change instantly. Therefore YUM continuously seeks other sustainable funding sources. We has been running several income-generating projects such as welcoming group of paying visitors and students as part of the Edutourism program, organizing Organic Farming Workshops and selling merchandise produced by our beneficiaries.
Since 2017, YUM focused on increasing the number of merchandise such as kimonos, aprons, dresses and cushion covers. The team has also expanded from two tailors to six. The team comprises of women who were former students of the VTC Sewing class. This collaboration is a great opportunity both for the students and YUM itself. Nowadays, the team is also taking orders from not only local companies but also from international orders.
Every year around 80 students finished the sewing course and apply for jobs in the garment industry. Some of them also made their own tailor shop business by taking orders from their neighborhood. YUM is very grateful for the continuous support from GlobalGiving donors. This amazing project could not happen without your support. Thank you!
