Description

Learn to Sew Cloth Sanitary Pads for yourself and for women in Kenya with Sustainabili-T by Stretch Couture and Divine Kreations 11. Come ready to shop as both will have fabulous finds from their boutiques just in time for Black History Month. The Sanitary Sewing Session includes materials to complete two pads. 1 for you to keep and 1 to donate. Please bring a sewing machine if you have one. This workshop will support the Sankofa Healing Experience by collecting the donated sanitary pads and distributing them to women in Kenyan prisons that cannot afford to purchase sanitary supplies. A portion of the proceeds will also support Sonya’s Kenya Mission Trip with She Steps Forward Ministries. Sonya is raising money to make a difference in the lives of girls in Nairobi, Kenya. The Kariokor Adult Center is home to around 10 girls at a time who have been rescued from child bride marriages and other abuse. The girls range in age from 10 - to 18-years-old. The Center is overseen by Mrs. Angelica Okyweya Nandwa and her family. At Kariokor, each girl’s welfare, dignity, and future is taken into highest consideration. It is Mrs. Angelica’s goal to provide food, shelter, clothing, childcare, and an education to each young lady in her care. In addition, the girls are taught a valuable skill, such as sewing. I will be visiting Kariokor to teach the girls Sustainable Sewing Workshops that will allow them to support themselves and their children. To meet this challenge, I've set up this campaign with a goal of $5,000 to cover the cost of airfare, lodging, transportation, miscellaneous fees, as well as sewing machines and sewing supplies for the girls. With your help, she can reach this goal and continue the work she has set out to do in Kenya. Please help if you can. Every donation makes a difference!!!
