Fall 2019 Newsletter

Sewing Peace is proud to announce a new partnership with More Care International, based in Pretoria, South Africa, and operating in Winterveldt, a village 53 kilometers from Pretoria. We’ve agreed to help with their mission: “to establish effective social structures for the undertaking of income-generating projects for the vulnerable and marginalized in the community”.

On November 13, 2019, we shipped 71 sewing machines to start our collaboration.

The last time Pedals for Progress shipped to South Africa was August 2001. We shipped 8 containers of bikes there between 1998 and 2001. Until now, we’ve never shipped any sewing machines there.
