About the Cause

Posted by BF0803 in Burkina Faso on 07/19/2025

This project aims to create a professional sewing and weaving center for 25 young people and women in precarious situations. With a budget of 5,900,000 FCFA, it will allow for the construction of premises, the purchase of machines and equipment, and the remuneration of trainers. The center will offer practical training to enable beneficiaries to acquire useful skills, start their own businesses, and generate sustainable income. It addresses an urgent need for socio-economic integration, particularly among unemployed women and youth. The training courses will be short, accessible, and focused on self-reliance. Each donation will help equip the center, support learners, and transform lives. The project is designed to be scalable and self-sufficient in the long term. It values local know-how and promotes artisanal entrepreneurship. It is a realistic initiative, led by a committed team, with a strong social impact. Supporting this project means investing in people, work, and dignity.

How the church will sustain the cause

To keep this project active without always asking for money from outside, our church will do several things. First, it will sell the clothes and loincloths made by the students to raise money and pay for the center's needs. Then, former students will be able to gather in small groups to help each other and continue working together. The church is also counting on members who will give their time to help train and manage the center without asking for money. Finally, we will hold events to talk about the project, invite the community to participate, and receive small donations. This way, the project can last a long time and help many people.
