Campaign Story
Hand sewing machines make it possible for these people to uplift themselves and provide much needed income towards their monthly expenses. Once they have completed the 15day training period we send them home with a machine to continue with their newly acquired skill. Many of our students are sole providers for large families all affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa. Just a little goes a long way. Each machine costs in the region of R1500.00 and we have 40 students in a week for 15 weeks.

EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITY
Update posted by Linda Venton at 07:17 amThis is how your donations can help our unemployed community members continue with their skills we provide at Embocraft Training Centre Trust. We aim to send each trainee home with the tools to start up their own income generating business within their community, thus assisting with the household income. Embocraft
Christmas is coming.. help us to help these folk.... we have 30 students in need of machines .. they will graduate in December 2017 please help us
Update posted by Linda Venton at 11:46 amOur funding received only cover the bare necessities of providing them with a tool kit and fabric and to pay for the trainer fees. It makes such a difference to them if we can provide a machine for home use so they can sew for their families and community thus
