Skill Development: Sewing & Weaving

By learning to weave and turning this into a viable business, women are developing the skills to become economically independent. Kigezi Women is working with local educators and community leaders to develop skill-based trainings to provide women with greater technical skills. Therefore, by learning weaving, sewing, and handcrafting techniques and how to take products to market, women can engage in income generating activities, which have the potential to lift them and their children out of poverty.

In April 2019 Kigezi Women…

  • Purchased two (2) sewing machines to expand classes in Kakore and Nangara

  • Acquired a weaving machine

  • Distributed 30 pound of material for weaving and knitting (wool and thread)

To continue this work and to expand to provide additional skill-based trainings, we invite you to donate. One sewing machines cost about $150.
