Kinigi sewing Centre

In 2019, together with a local partner NGO, we established a training center for single mothers in Kinigi. Each year, up to 50 young mothers start their training as seamstresses at the Kinigi Sewing Center. Their children range in age from a few months to two years.

Teenage single mothers often live on the fringes of society with no hope for a good future. If they become pregnant accidentally, they are often outcast by their families. Many of them are traumatized and need psychological support. Our social worker takes care of them. In the community with their fellow mothers, the young women find strength and self-confidence to survive in society as mothers, but also as professionals.

So far, 210 mothers have completed the training course.
