Zambia with Sew Powerful in 2016

I traveled to Zambia in 2016 to learn about a project that I had sewn purses for. The project was located in a slum area of Lusaka called Njombe. I have been volunteering with them the last eight years. This month I am participating in a fundraiser. The information is below and I would love your support!

I will also share some photos of my 2016 trip below.

Sew Powerful is run by all volunteers so any money donated goes directly to covering the cost of filling the purses and paying the local women who sew the reusable sanitary products. The girls typically will miss five days of school each month during their periods, because they have no access to sanitary pads. This causes them to fall behind and have difficulty passing their seventh grade exam which is needed to go to secondary school. Many of the girls then marry early and continue in poverty.

Thank you for ready my blog today and learning about this amazing project.
