A Stitch for Change: Your donation helps us purchase the materials needed to continue providing sewing training.
Through the Mãos Criativas Cooperative Programme, women in vulnerable contexts are learning sewing skills to overcome poverty. But to continue this life-changing training, we urgently need the right equipment.
Right now, we are raising €1,215 to provide:
-
3 mechanical sewing machines – €600
-
1 semi-industrial overlock machine – €315
-
Materials for students – €300
With your support, these women will continue gaining hands-on training, access to income-generating opportunities, and the chance to achieve financial independence.
Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference.
Contribute to this campaign today and help give women in Guinea-Bissau the tools to shape their future!
Why is this Initiative Relevant for Guinea-Bissau?
Being a girl or woman in Guinea-Bissau means facing immense challenges. The majority of women live in extreme poverty, forced to support their families by selling vegetables, fish, or clothing in markets and on the streets.
Girls are often denied formal education and subjected to early and forced marriage, domestic violence, and female genital mutilation (FGM). These issues significantly hinder their autonomy and opportunities for self-determination in this West African country.
The Mãos Criativas Cooperative aims to address these social and economic vulnerabilities by providing professional training, essential skills, and techniques in sewing and textile crafts. The project supports women and girls spiritually, emotionally, and financially, with the goal of restoring their dignity, building their self-esteem, and empowering them to transform their lives.
