Our next sewing school graduation: Dec. 12, 2020
Our next class of 40 women will graduate from the Congo Restoration Sewing School on Dec. 12. These young women have been waiting longer than usual for this day, as our school closed down for a few months during the early pandemic. But it’s finally time for them to graduate.
We buy 20 sewing machines for each class, allowing pairs of students to share one machine as they open their businesses. Our goal on this #GivingTuesday (Tuesday, Dec. 1) is to raise $3000 to purchase these machines, which cost $150 each in Eastern Congo.
As you plan your #GivingTuesday donations, please keep us in mind.
Donate below through UMCOR (which does not charge fees), PayPal, or Venmo. Thank you so much for your tax-deductible donation to lift up these amazing young women!

Hey, I just made the donation but didn’t see a place to let you know I will be coming to the event!
Thanks, Diane! I’ll look through our PayPal account to get a guest list. Or you can message me, like you just did. 🙂 So glad you can make it. Maybe drag Andrea along with you … or whomever you’d like! Thanks so much. It’ll be great to see you! — Dawn
