Sew Powerful in 90 Seconds

We are so glad you are joining us. Sew Powerful is on a mission to combat extreme poverty in the African country of Zambia and we could use your help. Sewing purses for schoolgirls in Zambia is the foundation of all our volunteer activities. By making purses and writing notecards, you help girls stay in school all month long. That’s because Sew Powerful employs adults in Zambia to make the reusable feminine hygiene supplies and soap to put inside the purses. And through our Tikondane Gardens program and our affiliation with the 3 Esthers Farm, we also feed hungry children.
