ACT6: Help Vulnerable Malawi Women Start Sewing Business
Help Vulnerable Malawi Women Start Sewing Business
When I was Looking at the Global Giving website for organization spoke to me the most. I came across "Help Vulnerable Malawi Women Start Sewing Business" This is an Initiative that aims at empowering women in order to sustain their livelihood in the poverty stricken region of Maliya, Malawi. This project will allow widows and other vulnerable women in Malawi (Africa) to care for their own young children by providing them with materials to start a sewing/tailoring business (Truly empowering women).
Many women in Malawi have to leave their country to seek better opportunities because Malawi does not offer enough job opportunities to fully sustain the women of Malawi. This will cause them to leave their friends and family. In order to seek work. Many woman in Malawi have children and if they are forced to seek work in another country they will also have to leave their children. This cause high amounts of stress and the chance that the mother will never see her children again is very possible.
The sewing business will provide an income to women in bush communities so they can independently care for own their children and the children of their deceased family members. The project will also Enhance the health and education of the women and children, Supply jobs for the women of the local Maliya community, Stabilize local economies and minimize handouts and establish the spirit of self-dependency
I donated 10$ to this amazing organization which will buy150 sewing needles and in the bigger picture EMPOWER WOMEN
Project Message:
“In this case, by supporting us parents with jobs, it means you have taken care of a child as well. It’s like killing two birds with a stone.”
- Mr. Redson Bwande, Caregiver at Maliya Community Daycare Center
