SPOTLIGHT ON :
Cycle of Good Meet the Team Meet Selina, Maria and Rachel! For over 10 years, these three incredible women with very few resources other than sewing machines donated from the UK, have trained over 1,600 women in Chilomoni Township, Malawi. These dedicated women lead classes in informal tailoring and the three-
month course is taught in Chichewa so that it’s accessible to women who have not been able to attend school. They also teach a oneyear diploma course which not only passes on sewing skills but helps to build literacy and prepares women for the world of work.
Sewing machines are solar powered by the Malawian sun, bricks for construction are made on site using Hydraform eco-bricks and over a thousand trees have been planted in the region
