As you know, donations such as pens and sewing machines are critical to our programs – programs that keep orphans in school and create jobs for vulnerable women.

This week our team in Malawi delivered 35 sewing machines (pictured here) to our community centers. Thanks to this shipment, 6 Tailor Training courses will begin in January 2012.  72 tailors will graduate with the skills to become professional tailors.  They will create over 4,000 school uniforms for orphans during their training.

In order to sustain this program that benefits so many vulnerable people, we need the following:

• Plain fabric
• Buttons (small and white/transparent)
• Elastic (for making trousers)
• Threads
• Zippers (fly front zippers)
• Sewing machines (foot-pedaling, manual)
• Sewing machine needles
• Tailoring scissors
• Trouser hooks
