SEWING

At Fundamaya, we believe that education extends beyond children and that empowering women with valuable skills is crucial for uplifting entire communities. By offering opportunities for women to learn and apply skills, we aim to help them achieve greater economic independence, benefiting their families as a whole. One of the ways we put this belief into action is through our comprehensive sewing program, which provides income-generating opportunities. Upon completing the program, participants receive sewing machines to continue building their skills and supporting their families.
