Help for self-help

A donation to the DRC Sewingcenter in April 2023

In the heart of the Mondesa township, in the DRC area, we have handed over ten Bernina sewing machines, one overlock machine, one industrial sewing machine, and six steam irons to the DRC Women’s Project.

The project is independently managed

by DRC Women`s Sewing Center

The project offers young women without formal education the opportunity to complete a practical sewing internship – with the goal of empowering them to become self-sufficient, generate their own income, and actively shape their future

The 4 seamstresses are motivated and eager to learn.

Share in the profit

The women share in the profits on a pro rata basis. In this way, they gradually learn how to finance their lives with an income.

A stage for the mothers - Education for their children

We donated the equipment because we believe in the project’s holistic approach:

it not only empowers young women, but also benefits their children, who are cared for and educated at the same center.
