The Sewing
Project
Sister Tefartu leads a sewing project where local men and
woman can learn to be Tailors. They train by making dresses and
school uniforms for the poor and bags and table clothes to sell
mainly to unsuspecting foreigners.
The sewing project is
is still going very well and now with the new building complete
weaving will start as soon as the equipment has been
bought. This will
also enable us to train and support even more men and
women.
The aim of the sewing project is to get the people who take
part to a level where they can go out on their own with a loan
from the school to purchase a sewing machine and a small shop
type premises.
