My contribution to this month's star challenge.
These are upcycled from a pair of jeans. There was this lovely star on each leg - perfectly sized for the flap. I used the back pockets for the back of the purse. I was able to make 2 purses from one pair of jeans and some cheerful fabric.

Purses 16-38. I even got to share a few dozen of my kits with the local quilting group so they could get started making purses as well.

🎓 Every Girl Deserves the Chance to Learn

Poverty, menstruation, and limited access to menstrual health supplies can keep girls in Zambia out of school. At Needs Care School, girls were missing an average of six weeks of school each year because of their periods.

That’s why Sew Powerful created the Purse Program! 💙

Through menstrual health supplies and education, we’re helping girls stay in school and reach their full potential.

And the results speak for themselves: after the program was introduced, the gap between boys’ and girls’ 7th Grade Exam scores dropped from 8.56% to less than 1%.

✨ When we invest in girls’ education, we invest in a brighter future for their families and communities.

Together, we are Sew Powerful!

This was our Sewing Sister’s first year making purses. Our goal was 50, and we finished strong with 60! We did not join in on the Sew-A-Thon - maybe next year! And maybe a pic of the group Sonora, Ca

💚 Feeding Children, Empowering Communities

What began in 2015 with 10 acres of bare land has grown into a ministry serving 11,800 children daily across 26 schools in Lusaka, Zambia!

Through our three core programs, we’re creating lasting local impact:
🌾 The 3 Esthers Farm – Growing fresh food and creating local jobs.
🏡 Backyard Gardens – Helping over 1,000 vulnerable people access fresh food at home.
🍲 Hot Lunches – Providing daily meals to children in 26 schools.

Beyond feeding the hungry, we empower local team members with meaningful, good-paying jobs that allow them to serve their own communities.

🙏 Join us in making a difference, one meal and one community at a time.
