We empower women in Uganda by providing them with valuable tailoring training and skills. Our tailoring program is designed to teach women the basics of sewing, as well as business practices that will help them support their families. Our experienced teachers will provide them support and knowledge needed to make an independent living.
By providing women with sewing skills, we are helping to break the cycle of poverty in Uganda. We are committed to helping empower these women so they can lead a dignified life, free of poverty. By giving these women the opportunity to launch their own tailoring businesses, we are helping to provide them with the support needed to support their families and thrive.
At least 100 women each month will learn tailoring and how to run a small tailoring business from their homes. Women enter the course not knowing the basics; they leave with a means to a livelihood and the capacity to provide for their own families sewing needs.
Poverty remains widespread in Uganda’s struggling economy with hard hit. Widows and separated women are especially vulnerable to unemployment and poverty. In order to help widows and separated women along with other women Plan to Empower began tailoring classes to several slum and rural areas. These classes teach women to sew a wide variety of clothing from patterns which they can then sell.
During the tailoring course, women learn to compute budgets for clothing and savings from making their own clothes. They learn to design and make a variety of clothes. Health, peace, and women’s rights lessons are also taught during class.
Women learn to save money they would have spent on clothes in order to purchase a sewing machine and start a small business. Course graduates sew their family’s clothes, start a home-based business, and/or become sewing teachers.
