Supporting Seira Stitch by Stitch
Supporting Seira Stitch by Stitch Goal: $16,800 About this Project Located in central Africa, Rwanda is a country of 12 million whose past has been plagued by ethnic genocide. Due to this, women have had to take on the traditionally male role as of head of the household. Seira Community Church seeks to empower women who have taken on this responsibility by equipping them with vocational training in the skill of sewing. Last year, 38 women were trained to sew and this project seeks to increase that number to 200. The women also enjoy fellowship and help each other develop spiritually. $157.50 buys a small sewing machine for a training center. $262.50 buys initial fabrics and materials for a student. $420 buys a semi-automatic sewing machine for a training center.
Nearly 60% of the Rwandan population lives below the poverty line. Women are now being trained in the crafts of sewing and knitting to become economically independent and to empower each other and their communities.
