Step Up

1 January 2023

The new 3 years project, Step-up, in collaboration with DUNK-grassroots https://www.dunkgrassroots.org/ and co-founded by the Otto per Mille of Waldensian Church https://www.ottopermillevaldese.org/, has started!

The project aims to register a women cooperative managed by teenage mothers and at risk girls. Our sewing course will be improved by math, English, management and ICT lessons. Personal development workshops will be opened to community youth, male and female for a “he for she” approach.

We will take care also of the health and education of the teenage mothers’ children that will be in safe places while their mothers study and practice.

Sew Your Future 2021

26 March 2021

Dear all,

we are preparing to provide the 3rd course for teenage mothers in Jamestown. The course is completely free and it includes educational support for the children of the beneficiaries.

Furthermore, with the girls that completed the previous courses, we are planning to open a small shop so that they can run their own business.

Who would like to be part of our dream to support at risk girls in the process of becoming indepent and confident, could organize fundraising events, donate or share your knowledge and skills.

  • with 10 euros you can buy 3 meters of fabrics for the training
  • with 25 euros you can pay the National Health insurance for 1 child and his/her mother
  • with 120 euros you can cover 1 month salary for the sewing teacher
  • with 250 euros you can donate an electric sewing machine.

Thank you for believing in us,

Sew Your Future APS
