The OVC project received 2 sewing machines. The aim is to generate income for parents and grannies to enable them to support their children in school. After many parents have been approached, only 5 parents who are also volunteers for the OVC project availed themselves to be trained in sewing.
They are in the training now since the 25th January 2011. The class is starting from 17:30 to 20:00, which is 2 and a half hours per day for 4 days a week.

At the moment, there are no funds to buy the materials and tools (scissors, needles, etc.) for the training. The trainer, Meriam donated the first materials but more materials are needed to continue with the training.

We hope this project will continue to grow into a big income generating activity which will contribute to the sustainability of the OVC project.
