The Women groups I have supported when working at our sewing project since 2007 and successful stories
“I am happy to inform you that I am now a fashion designer with a reputable industrial company in Mwanza. Our work is to make company uniforms that include overalls, aprons, etc. Allow me therefore to thank you and all your staff for the careful training extended to me during the timeI spent on tailoring course there. Bravo HWG/TWAM!” Evelyn Stephan “I wish to thank Tools with a Mission for supporting and enabling me to have basic tailoring course at a minimal cost. I could never believe what would happen to me the day I joined HWG training centre. I had always liked using a sewing machine after dropping out of school but had no idea whether I was any good. The care that HWG trainers offered enabled me to achieve my long term objective. Equipment supplied by TWAM made this possible for me and I am indeed indebted.” Luja Malugu“We wish once again to thank you for your generosity and may God Bless You.” Albert KahaiReference on TWAM (UK)2010 news letter.

The women had worked very hard, and had been encouraged to form their own working schedules based on the required 30 hours a week. But each woman had made it her duty to come every day from 9:00 am till 4.30pm. They all worked diligently, knowing that they would earn something in return. This project involve currently 60 women from different places all these are involved in tailoring project. Who work as accountants only 4 few with different role and we have this sewing centre in different part.
