Sewing machine only cost $150 USD - but it's the most important thing to these girls and the program. The girls are only at the school training and living for 1 year and at the end of the year if they get their own sewing machine they can make a real living and support themselves.

​

But it's more than a sewing machine. We found that the girls have been treated with such disregard that they can't understand someone caring for them. We were stunned at how many questions about "why we were interested in them" because it's not what they have known. I would like to have sewing machines for the next group of girls and beyond come from individual people that I can send to the girls with details and a message. I think that would be so impactful for their lives. These are literal 16-18 year old children who will be going back to the village to make it on their own. I would love them to feel some love and support for an entire community around the world. I'm just getting started with this...
