Fall 2018 InStitch

[In July 2017 we shipped 72 sewing machines to our partner in Ethiopia, Stiftung Solarenergie—Solar Energy Foundation. Import and logistical problems slowed the program. But we just got this report from Country Director Samson Tsegaye; the training has begun.]

Dear David,

Finally I managed to start the sewing machine training for 25 women. I am so happy to inform you of this. It was so challenging to get this far.

They will have 21 days of training on sewing technique and then they will receive one sewing machine to start their own business.

Thank you so much again for your great help.

Best Regards,
Samson Tsegaye, Ethiopia Country Director
Stiftung Solarenergie—Solar Energy Foundation

In December 2018 we got this report on the successful completion of the latest training session.
