"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must
be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt." Leviticus 19:33-34 |
Sew For Hope began as a ministry of Thriftsmart teaching a group of 4 Bhutanese students. That was all it was ever supposed to be... or so we thought! The ladies kept coming back to learn more and also brought their friends who wanted to learn to sew. As of December 2019 we have graduated over 250 participants from the Sew For Hope Basic Sewing program. They received professional training, a certificate, sewing tools, and a new sewing machine to help them begin their own business or become employed in a sewing related field. Many of our graduates come back for intermediate and advanced level classes where they learn skills such as machine embroidery, patternmaking, serger/overlock, drapery making, handbag making, men’s custom dress shirts, quilting and many more skills.
