TAFCOM Tailoring Program

In addition to providing medical support and educational support to families affected by HIV, TAFCOM also has a women's tailoring program. Many of these women are uneducated single mothers who are struggling to provide for their families. Through a six-month intensive tailoring class provided at a tailoring center, these women gain the skills they need to work as a tailor or operate a small tailoring businesses.

The women were instrumental in sewing over 5000 disposable sanitary pads for distribution to women by Friends-Together.org.  The money needed to purchase fabric and sewing supplies was provided by donations collected by Friends-Together volunteers. See a video on the pad project HERE.

 

Currently, the sewing room has 6 machines.  Friends-Together purchased an additional 10 machines for the program!  We also donated supplies to the new graduates of the program.

   

                             

                           

TAFCOM has plans to construct a new building to house the expanding tailoring program with the help of Friends-Together.   Check out this video put together by Liz on the project HERE
