Sewing Machine Day

13th June 2025

We’ve helped to provide over 13,600 period pads to 2700 girls over the past few years because of an incredible machine and so we’re celebrating #sewingmachineday. Dozens of women in rural Kenya use sewing machines, funded by our generous donors, to make thousands of pads that are then given to the most needy girls. But the sewing skills that are learned can be used for other purposes; to make different products and so enabling local women to make a much needed income. Children are fed and can access school and communities can grow and thrive – all because of a sewing machine.
