Sew Powerful
Sew Powerful is a Christian ministry that exists to employ and empower people to pursue life in all its fullness. We do that by creating purposeful products that change communities-things like school uniforms, reusable hygiene pads, soap, and farm fresh food.
In Zambia, we employ our team with good paying jobs. They do well by doing good and are supported by thousands of volunteer coworkers from around the world. This allows us to have an incredibly low overhead rate and a huge impact. You can give with confidence knowing that we are careful stewards of the funds we receive.
