We were able to send $1000 to Uganda thanks to generous donations for the new sewing school. They should be able to purchase 6 sewing machines with our gift! Thanks to all who donated. I will pass along updates as I receive them.

Sewing Machines for Uganda

Mom was recently approached by a friend with connections in Uganda. This friend made a request for help purchasing several sewing machines for a new vocational school run by Polline, a pastor’s wife.

Polline decided to open this school when she found that many girls in the area had become pregnant during the COVID lockdown. Her desire is to teach these young women a skill, so they can have a source of income to provide for their babies. The following are the needs for the school.
