In 2017, Cristina managed a sewing school, funded with the help of Provision of Hope. This initiative has now evolved into a Sewing Project. The women who were trained at the school are currently engaged in custom sewing and repairs, earning an income to support themselves. It is truly a success story.
Provision of Hope is delighted with the progress of the Sewing Program led by Cristina and Alicia in Cd Valles, Mexico. The sewing classes have empowered many women to earn a living as custom tailors.
Here is a little report from Steven Frey about his wife Theresa and the women in the sewing project.
Theresa was blessed to involve herself again in the sewing program that Cristina, Alicia, and several other women continue to be very busy with. Although the regular sewing classes that Cristina once held have changed, several women continue to take on custom tailoring and repairs, allowing them to earn an income through their sewing. While we were in Cd. Valles, Cristina and the women had an order for 32 costume skirts and two dresses for one of the schools. After barely finishing these on the short timeline, they immediately received another large order for bee costumes from another school. Much of their work involves making school uniforms and taking on custom renovations and repairs for individual clients. Despite their small workshop, they are very busy. Cristina had a new trainee join the work team while we were there. Theresa and I were also blessed to deliver four used heavy-duty sewing machines to Cristina for the workshop on this trip.
Thank you for your support and prayers towards the people of Cd Valles, Mexico!
