Sewing to Dignity project – Venezuela

Due to the great poverty in Venezuela and lack of means of subsistence, especially children suffer from hunger and lack of clothing. Regularly children up to the age of seven walk naked or half-naked. Elderly people are often seen on the street in old torn pyjamas.

As a response to this need, courses and retailoring of the adult to children's clothes began in Zdenac’s centres. Everything is done/sewn by hand. There is a great demand for mothers and grandmothers to teach sewing, retailoring for their children and grandchildren, but also themselves.

 

Neophodno je u svakom centru Zdenca (četiri su centa) imati barem jedan šivaći stroj, škare i druge potrebne instrumente za ubrzati i omogućiti učenje i šivanje odjevnih predmeta.

It is necessary to have at least one sewing machine, scissors and other necessary instruments in each centre of Zdenac (there are four centres) to speed up and enable learning and sewing of garments.

Each sewing machine costs $ 350.

Thank you for restoring dignity to those in need.

Each of your donations is God’s providence.

We thank God and you for your mercy.

God bless you!
