Sewing studio in DRC - a joint venture

In collaboration with Anja Rohwer and her Katutura project.

The sewing studio in the heart of DRC will open its doors in early 2023. It is only one part of the new Community Center, which was completed at the end of 2022.

A stage for the mothers - Education for their children

Not only sewing is done here, but also cooking. In the four classrooms, many girls and boys are taught by experienced teachers. In addition, the mothers who work there can have their small children looked after and cared for in the kindergarten.

Self-empowerment

At the beginning of February, six women were able to start their stage as seamstresses in the sewing workshop at the women's center in DRC Township. The women are enormously 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.

Create your own sewing studio

After two years of in-depth training, the seamstresses will be able to finance their own sewing machine with a microcredit from the Mondesa Foundation and Goods4Life and thus start their own small business.

The women will still be able to sell their created work on our distribution channels and of course achieve a higher revenue than during the training.
