‘SEW GOOD’ DRIVE

URGENT APPEAL FOR DONATIONS FOR SEWING MACHINES!!

*Donate towards a new machine, empower a woman to support her family*

We have pivoted from crocheting to sewing masks, and are super grateful to have been able to sustain H18 Foundation this way. However, we currently only have 3 sewing machines, meaning only 3 of our 25 women are earning now.

H18 needs your help to empower more of these incredible women, and give them the ability to earn money and support their families during this crisis.

We are asking for DONATIONS TO BUY NEW SEWING MACHINES. Decent machines go for about R2000. We are asking for donations of any amount towards buying new machines.

Also, if you have an OLD SEWING MACHINE lying around at home, even if its not working at all, please get in touch to donate this! We have a guy who can fix old machines, and machines in any condition will be lovingly restored and used.

EACH NEW SEWING MACHINE MEANS ONE MORE FAMILY EMPOWERED TO WEATHER THIS STORM. TOGETHER WE CAN RISE.
