GACHIE SEWING PROJECT


Hello everyone! Sorry I have been so late to post this information, but some things have kept me very busy over the last months and I have been travelling a lot. This was one of the last projects of Elfu Bob: we funded this group of women in the slum of Gachie, on Red Hill Road, very near the UN. If somebody wants to visit the place it is right at the entrance of the village on the left handside, it is painted green. You can contact Sarah Maina, 0720548159. Also if you need some simple sewing job, like curtains or african outfits, you will help them a lot if you order from them. This is a self help organization started by women of Gachie to provide training in sewing skills to women who do not have any other source of income and helping them sustain their families by working in this small centre.

ELFU BOB contributed with several sewing machines. They were so happy about it that they were all dancing and singing as they were carrying the machines out of the car! This will help them expand a bit and allow them to take more trainees. Since I have been so late with this post, since our contribution another NGO also helped them with an embroidery machine, so they are slowly getting bigger. If you are around please don't hesitate to visit, it is really so close to the UN compound!
Thanks a lot to all those who have made this possible!
