SHE WILL THEN BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO BUY FOOD TO TAKE WITH HER MEDICATION SO THAT SHE LIVES TO TAKE CARE OF HER CHILDREN. THERE ARE NO ORPHANAGES IN THIS RURAL AREA, BUT MANY ORPHANS OF HIV MOTHERS.! Your support can prevent this!
Presently we have more than 100 women with HIV in the village who want to learn to sew but they need to practice & sewing material is too expensive to use. As they have never sewn before they will need plenty of practice before their items are ready for sale.
WHAT YOU CAN DO!
Get together with friends & collect unwanted cotton sheets & duvet covers to make Sewing Strips to send to our Rwandan Sewing Project!
Cut off the hemmed edges of the sheets & the seems & fastening edges of the duvets - they can't be used for practise & are unnecessary weight to post. Please do not send artificial fibres they are not easy to use for practice.
Cut the sheets into long Sewing Strips about a meter wide.

Parcels over 2 kilos are considered to be commercial & taxes will be charged or they will not be delivered. When you go to the post office with the parcel you will have to declare the contents. Please declare the items as Sewing Strips not sheets etc as they will not be allowed into the country.
