Seedlings of Change provided AWDEO sewing and knitting machines for their Tailoring and Knitting Project; the required fabrics, threads, yarns and the knitting machine instruction classes taught by Madam Fatuma and the sewing machine instruction taught by Madam Jackie.
Greetings to you from Uganda, I hope that you are fine and doing well. Allow me thank Seedlings of Change from all the women and children that are members of AWDEO! I managed to make a sign to post by the shop where the knitting and tailoring project is to be located. Here the women and children will learn skills and gain knowledge that will empower them to earn an income and improve their livelihood. Thank you Seedlings of Change for your support! I traveled to Kampala with one of the ladies to purchase the yarns, threads and fabrics needed. We made pillows from some bed sheets I purchased now we must locate some sponge, foam or fabric scraps that we can place inside to form the pillows. These are some of the income generating activities we are doing that will make the women and AWDEO sustainable in the long run. I will keep you posted on our progress. Love, Suzan |
