EMPOWER WOMEN WITH THE HELP OF A SEWING MACHINE

When women don’t have a formal education to obtain high earning jobs, vocational skills such as sewing is a great alternative to provide for themselves. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, women do not have the funds to own a sewing machine, making it more challenging to lift themselves out of poverty. Donating a sewing machine can provide a livelihood for women who lack those resources and create purposeful projects that can uplift their communities. 

BENEFITS OF DONATING A SEWING MACHINE

Providing a sewing machine for those in need allows the receiver to learn a useful life skill, create clothing for their families, and provide a source of income for themselves. In areas where there is gender discrimination and dangerous environments, earning a living as a seamstress is a path towards independence and empowers them in the safety of their house. Additionally, they can make a valuable contribution to their communities and help lift others out of poverty. It is one of the best ways for someone to be self-reliant, especially in times of crisis.

Your gift can create school uniforms for children, hygiene supplies, warm clothing for the winter months, and many other practical items.  A sewing machine also creates clothing at a much faster rate than hand sewing and is far less time consuming, leading to better and more products for the seamstress to tailor and sell.
