How to Help
Sponsor a Sewing Machine
Help empower single and widowed women in Andhra Pradesh by sponsoring a sewing machine. The tailoring project Mahila Sakti serves empoverished single and widowed women by providing training in dress making and tailoring.
By sponsoring a machine (approx. $100US per machine) you help provide training for several women, a source of income for single mother families and a long term solution to the cause of various poverty related social issues.
Once the training workshop has been fully kitted with enough sewing machines, machines will be loaned/rented to women who qualify from the course.
100% of your donation will be used towards the purchase of a sewing machine. You may initiate a wire transfer with your bank for transfer of funds into the MEEDS account in India. Please select "Transaction fees covered by sender" when sending money via wire, thereby providing us with the exact resources to immediately put your funds into action.
