Our Maasai scarves and leather are kind of a match made in heaven. . . . After our students begin learning the machine, some of their first work is learning these infinity scarves. . . . Did you know that, not only is each product designed to teach skills which are used in our student’s future businesses, but also that our students are participating in their education by making the products which are sold to fund their program? . . . The products that you purchase are basically a partnership between you and our students in providing training, education, discipleship, and their start as small business owners! . . . Thanks for being part of their story and for being #clothedinstrength! #sifa #sifathreads #sifaleather #daressalaam

Guys, last month we had a competition at Sifa among our students. The girls were given the task of sewing a simple clutch purse with lining. The students were told that we would be looking for the top designs. Inside each clutch was a letter written by the student explaining what she would do with an opportunity of learning leather craft. . . The competition was close, but several of our students rose to the top. They were given the opportunity to be trained by Gabriel from @gonzalaleathers_ . . . It is amazing to look back just one month and now see the beautiful work that our students are producing. . . They are getting more confident and developing better skills every single day. In July, they will get a chance to train their fellow students who will be chosen for a 1-year internship of leather and design & further business training. . . Seeing these young women push themselves forward in this challenging and new endeavor has been remarkable. Their hearts are awakening to new possibilities and hope for their futures as designers, business owners & women who will changing communities. . . Check out these student-made washbags now in production. These will be available soon to purchase. But for now, take a second to marvel at what these girls are producing and what steps are being taken forward for their future success! . . #sifathreads #clothedinstrength #bywomenforwomen #sifaleather #clothedinstrength #daressalaam
