world vision gave these 3 women a sewing machine, the materials needed to get started and training in how to sew, business and marketing and training in how to invest their income. they had made a couple pairs of sheets, tablecloths, aprons and pillow cases. they sell their merchandise in the local village but we bought everything they had and gave it to the family we were building the house for.
unbelievably though these women do not have electricty and the corner where their sewing machine is is so very dark even in bright daylight. i can imagine they won't have good eyesight for long.
but having this sewing machine gives these women an income in which to feed their children and a sense of pride in their accomplishments.
