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, we empower vulnerable women through training and initiating small businesses. Due to their low education level, vocational training was appropriate for them. PIPES partners with local churches in Rwanda, Burundi, and Pakistan to train women in dressmaking and tailoring, and to support them start small businesses.
We now have four schools, one in Rwanda, one in Burundi, and two in Pakistan. About 50 students are studying in these schools. So far, we have graduated over 100 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.
