Women’s Empowerment Sewing Machine Project
Fundraiser by Stefanie
This fundraiser supports Women Empowerment ($225 per woman)
About This Fundraiser
Over 100 women have completed their training in Transformation India Movement’s Sewing school but are waiting for their sewing machine so they can begin their work as a tailor or seamstress. For the majority of women in Bihar, education, let alone self-provision is rare. As one woman said to us “my sewing machine is life!” We have a goal to ensure that 100 women (and hopefully more!) will be able to spend the rest of this year beginning their new life putting their new skills to work. Just $100 will provide a foot-powered Singer sewing machine for one of these graduates. Each machine not only equips a woman for her trade, but also empowers her to realize she is loved and seen by Jesus and has a voice in this world.

About Women Empowerment ($225 per woman)
The majority of women in Bihar have little education and possess few marketable skills. Transformation 1040 trains and equips women to start their own micro-enterprise business, in the context of Christ-centered training. Your support of $225 provides one woman six months of training in the Bridge of Hope Sewing School and her very own pedal-powered sewing machine. Women graduate from the program not only prepared to help support their families but with a new understanding of Jesus. Approximately 40% of students enter into a life-transforming relationship with Jesus.
GOAL: Provide sewing instruction and a sewing machine to 240 women.
