Thank you to all who helped us sew for a very good cause! If you weren't able to sew with us but still want to help young African women stay in school stop by we are happy to share the pattern with you. Kits may be available as well.

Sew Powerful is an organization determined to make a difference.

These purses they empower girls to stay in school all month, improve their academic performance and move on to secondary school. Young women in Zambia benefit from the Sew Powerful purses, which are used for feminine hygiene supplies so they can attend school, regardless of the time of the month. The purses are filled with reusable feminine hygiene pads made by local seamstresses in Lusaka Zambia. This allows them to earn an income while doing good in their community. A large International Charity transports the purses from the U.S. to Zambia. The purses are given to the young ladies as a gift during health class along with health information.
