At our Mali base, women aren’t just learning to sew—they’re discovering independence, confidence, and hope! Our six-month program combines sewing with literacy, Bible stories, and Trauma Healing lessons. Every module has its own teacher, and together they create a space where women can grow, learn, and thrive.
The results are life-changing. One participant shared that before the program, arguments about family expenses were a constant struggle because her husband handled everything. Now, she’s contributing financially and helping her family thrive.
“The program allows you to be autonomous,” says Amos Dembele, our Mali base director.
The excitement keeps building. The last class included five Muslim women, and the next session will welcome around 20 participants! Churches in the area help select students, but space is tight—and there are many women still waiting for a chance to join.
At the start of November, a new class kicks off. And here’s the thing: with a bigger space, we could welcome even more women and give them the tools they need to transform their families and communities. Imagine how many lives could be changed with just a little extra room!
Each graduate also receives a Bible, symbolizing the way this program blends practical skills with spiritual growth.
You can be part of this transformation. Your gift can help us expand the Mali program, giving more women the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine.
Let’s stitch hope, confidence, and transformation—together!
