Skills are precious for a child’s proper development. By giving children the opportunity to receive training, they can become an essential part of their general education and future. In addition to formal education, our children are given the opportunity to follow vocational training packages such as sewing skills. For some, this is a nice extra and an added value in their everyday lives. For others, this becomes a livelihood, often for the whole family.
The sewing workshop in Kisoro started in 2013 as an additional activity. The then passionate teacher started with 11 children. Soon, the enthusiasm of these children spread to the others, and one after the other came to ask if they could follow these classes. Young and old, all ages were welcome and so this class was expanded to 4 lessons per week, divided into 2 levels.
