Proposal for Sewing Skills Training and Sewing Machine Fundraising Project at God’s Care School
Greetings, dear friends, partners, and supporters.
My name is Edward Lukwaya. I was born and raised in a humble village by my mother, Florence, a dedicated seamstress and tailor. Through her sewing work, she was able to provide food, clothing, and education for our family despite many challenges. Watching my mother use her skills to transform our lives taught me the value of vocational training and self-reliance.
Inspired by her example, I am proposing the introduction of sewing lessons and practical tailoring training at God’s Care School. This initiative aims to equip vulnerable children with hands-on skills that can help them earn a living, become self-sufficient, and build a brighter future.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND
Many of the children at God’s Care School come from vulnerable families and have limited access to vocational skills training. While academic education is important, practical skills are equally valuable in preparing young people for life beyond the classroom and thus leads to easy creation of jobs.
Sewing is a skill that can be learned at a young age and can create opportunities for income generation, entrepreneurship, and employment. By introducing sewing training, we will empower our learners with skills they can use throughout their lives. In holidays we can also host programs for orphans, mature entry mainly for widow mothers.
PROJECT GOAL
To establish a sewing and tailoring training program at God’s Care School that provides practical vocational education for vulnerable children and youth.
Objectives
1. Provide hands-on sewing and tailoring lessons for students.
2. Develop practical vocational skills that can lead to future employment or self-employment.
3. Promote creativity, confidence, and self-reliance among learners.
4. Create opportunities for students to produce school uniforms, clothing, and other useful items.
5. Improve the long-term economic prospects of vulnerable children and their families.
PROJECT NEEDS
To successfully launch this program, we seek support to purchase sewing machines for training purposes.
BUDGET
Item Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost
Sewing Machines 15 $150 $2,250
Total Required 15 $2,250
Each sewing machine costs $150.
Dear friend you can choose to sponsor:
• One sewing machine – $150
• Two sewing machines – $300
• Five sewing machines – $750
• Fifteen sewing machines (full project) – $2,250
EXPECTED IMPACT
With adequate sewing machines and training materials, God’s Care School will be able to:
• Train dozens of vulnerable children each year.
• Equip learners with practical income-generating skills.
• Foster independence and entrepreneurship.
• Reduce future unemployment among youth.
• Provide a pathway towards economic empowerment for disadvantaged families.
SUSTAINABILITY
The sewing program will continue beyond the initial purchase of machines. Students will use the equipment for ongoing training, and future sewing projects may generate modest income to support maintenance, purchase materials, and expand the program.
APPEAL FOR SUPPORT
We respectfully invite individuals, churches, organizations, businesses, and friends of God’s Care School to partner with us in this life-changing initiative. Your contribution, whether large or small, will help provide vulnerable children with skills that can transform their futures.
A single sewing machine costing $150 can become a tool of hope, dignity, and opportunity for many young learners.
Thank you for considering this request and for investing in the lives of vulnerable children. Together, we can equip them with practical skills that will serve them for years to come.
Sincerely,
Edward� Lukwaya
God’s Care School�Project Coordinator.
