Imagine... women collaborating to create beautiful fabric art pieces (purses, vests, clergy stoles) and a variety of other items that can be sold both in the US and in Nicaragua...
Imagine... women learning to sew AND having a space where there are machines to sew on and supplies to work with!
Imagine... women stiching hope together... and stitching confidence and skills and bread on the table for their families...
And then, imagine YOU and others you know participating in the new "Stitching Hope" project that JustHope Partners are birthing in Chacraseca, Nicaragua...
Stitching Hope is fabric arts and sewing center that will train and equip women to combine the artistic skills of fabric art with the utilitarian skills of sewing to provide jobs for up to 30 women.
