As you sew...sew shall you reap! Our Women's Sewing Program is a success!

The Nsefu Wildlife Women’s Sewing Program is a HIT!

We have GREAT news to share with you with regards to our women’s sewing center. Our Operations Manager Steve Zulu reports that the sewing program is a smashing success in the sector! He shared that the locals weren’t quite sure about the program at first and many doubted that it would become viable…but Team Nsefu wasn’t about to let failure happen. The team of women we trained is now creating fashions for the community and the school uniforms for our Chabwera school!

We have some more great news to share with you in that our Board Advisor Dr. Thomas Snitch made a wonderful donation to purchase more treadle machines for the sewing program in honor of U.S. Congressman Raskin’s late son “Tommy”. Tom shared with us that Tommy had a deep passion for Africa and we are grateful he came up with something so powerful and lasting for the community and for the Raskin family. The donation of sewing machines will grow the number of women in the workforce.

Everyone is exceedingly proud that not only do the women get to earn an income to support themselves and their families, but they provide a necessary service to the community and everyone wins. It’s another program that Nsefu Supporters are helping make a huge success!!! Very special thanks to Tom Snitch for the sewing machines donation and to Jan Dickieson for her continued support of the program! Everyone at Team Nsefu sends their heartfelt condolences to the Raskin family and we promise to cherish Tommy’s memory and we will continue his legacy of goodwill.
