Empowering Women Through Sewing Skills
Women in rural African communities play a significant role in providing for their families. We have witnessed indigenous women working so hard for so little, thus struggling to feed their families.
In Rwanda, PIPES resolved to empower these women through training and initiating small businesses. Due to their low education level, vocational training was appropriate for them. PIPES is partnering with local churches in Rwanda, Burundi, and Pakistan to train women in dressmaking and tailoring.
We now have four schools in Rwanda, Burundi, and Pakistan. About 50 students are studying in these schools. So far, we have graduated over 60 students who are using their skills to earn a living and support their families. It's exciting to see women without hope transitioning to businesswomen and seeking suitable employment.
