These women are amazing! Their sewing enterprises have taken off, and they’re so proud of the progress they’re making in their TCD Income Generation program.

There are two sewing groups: the beginners group and the advanced group. The beginners group is using this month to practice sewing on old rags and pieces of clothes, and the advanced group has already begun to make beautiful aprons to sell. The money generated from the sales of these aprons will help the women pay back the investment for the new sewing machines. Once they have made a certain amount of aprons, they will own their own machine. Check out these photos…

Our team was able to bring back a few samples to the States over the Holiday season. Check out some of our models: Anna and Sheryl model our “Pear Green” and “Ruby Apple” colors.

Kelly and Haven model our beautiful “Makassar Teal” color.
