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.

New School Uniforms for Chabwera Students!

Our Nsefu Wildlife Women’s Sewing Center has been busy making uniforms for all the students at our Chabwera School! This has been a total blessing for the families and kids in that parents don’t have to travel hours away for school uniforms. Furthermore, children having uniforms gives them a sense of “belonging”. Students are more prone to dropping out of school when not having a uniform because they create an “even economic and emotional playing field” in school and create a sense of unity and pride.

Thank you to Pandora Vreeland for coming up with the final funding for fabric to complete the program! We are grateful!

Nsefu Wildlife Shipping Container off to Zambia!

Our Nsefu Wildlife container is OFF TO ZAMBIA!!! Thank you to everyone who helped buy the container, load the container, and all the donations that are packed to the rafters inside. Praying for a safe journey because that container is packed with love and the contents have the power to change lives... both human and animal! We are grateful for your support!

The New Desks are here...The New Desks are here!

Attendance of our Chabwera School has QUADRUPLED since it was built in 2017 and there was a desperate need for more desks to handle the number of students who rotate throughout the day. Teacher Brighton Mwanza Jr. sent a wonderful note from the Head Teacher, video, and photo of the staff and students celebrating the arrival of the new desks to the school. We should all be so happy :0)

Greetings from Chabwera Primary School

On behalf of the school and indeed on my own behalf, I would love to extend our gratitude to you and the entire body for assisting with 25 new desks. The gesture has greatly motivated learners as now, they have a place to sit in school.

Thank you and may the Good Lord continue to bless.

Thank you to our wonderful supporter Scott Edwards for helping make this happen!
