Tailoring workshop for young people in risk

Already six months, the girls continue their education and even more – they started to share their  dreams. They succeeded in the first orders for clients, as well as managed to sew complex clothes for themselves - with wonderful pockets, collars and based on their own model.  The next six  months of the training will include preparation  to find work in a large enterprise.

And here's what they say themselves the question "How life changed for you after your involvement in social enterprise?"

Milka - - Okay. Before that I stayed at home and here  I feel better. I learned discipline; time management ; Now I'm more confident, proud and capable of doing things.

Barye - In the beginning I did not think I would keep here, but my teacher  told me that little by little I can do. Now here I keep schedule. It is interesting, but still afraid of machines. I'm afraid as I make mistakes. I do not want to make mistakes.  I want to be perfect.  I am proud that I'm here.

"What is your dream?".

Raina - I want to be a good designer of clothes. I want to paint models and they can be sewed. I want to become very good at my job.

Stanka - I want to give a better future for my children and to buy new furniture for my home because  my furniture is  old. When I'm done with my studies  I think i can earn a good salary and live quietly with my family.

Now the girls are on holiday, but in September they continue to follow the steps of their  dreams come true.

Our social enterprise – tailoring  workshop for women from social vulnerable groups had its first order!

Now, after 3 and a half months after we started we are happy to share with you our successes so far. Our 4 women have produced covers for a local school’s eatery. Milka, Stanka, Raina and Barie spent the last months training how to work with the tailoring machines and were very satisfied with the results. In the beginning they got nervous and frightened whether they would be able to meet the quality requirements but after they started to cut out and sew they grew more and more confident in their ability to fulfill the order.

As Milka says “Finally I can do something beautiful with my own hands – I can sew.” All the women are waiting for future orders and for the chance to prove their own development. They are very thankful to the sponsors of the social enterprise for making their dream come true.
