Sewing Training

The sewing program was established to make school uniforms, but also as an economic activity. Coins of Hope provided 5 sewing machines. There are currently 90 parents in the class, who make uniforms, masks, clothes and the fabric slow cookers.

Sewing classes enable Mpoyi women to learn how to sew school uniforms and improve their livelihood. There is a demand from many other community members to learn sewing skills. In July 2021, the CEPP team taught 20 adult women and 20 in taking measurements, cutting varied patterns, and sewing household items, including the Wonderbag. In November 2021, we paid for materials to build a small 2-room building that allows seamstresses to display their clothes for sale. The project added an embroidery machine in January 2022 to enable students to make the types of clothing with designs that can be sold.
