Sewing Skills Program Graduation Ceremony

Habitation of Hope

Having undergone an intensive dressmaking course, it was show-time, and the girls displayed the skills they acquired.

They made patterns and made their graduation dresses in four hours.

The pressure was intense, but knowledge makes one sure-footed.

Each girl worked on her dress.

Wow!! It was done and our partners were stunned. What a remarkable achievement.

Each girl received a certificate of achievement.


We are thankful to Hands of Hope USA for meeting the running expenses of the course. Also, the following people and groups made some remarkable contributions:

  • Westover Church in Greensboro and Rejoice Zimbabwe made a donation of sewing machines in 2013.

  • Allan Marson purchased an industrial overlock machine for the project in 2019 and a further donation of three manual sewing machines which is on their way.

  • Cornerstone Church bought mattresses and cooking utensils for the project.  

  • Philadelphia project in Harare offered their property as a training venue.
