About By Grace Foundation Inc

Huntington, South AfricaWe employ women as educators (2 women), administrators (3 part-time women), and assistants (2 women), we educate aspiring entrepreneurs and employees, and we better communities through our donations of crafted products and sponsored events. (While learning their trade, the learners practice sewing on projects that are donated locally. In Huntington, the women made uniforms for themselves and for local schools.) In April 2022, seven women graduated from our sewing apprenticeship program. They were each given a sewing machine and a microloan to help launch their own business. Two of the graduates were hired as assistants to help teach the next class of learners. In May, another eight women began their seamstress journey. They will graduate in 2023. Mabarhule, …
