Adopt-A-Tailor
In the Fadua youth center 15-20 children, age 15-18, will be taught the tailor trade. These children will stay in the program for one year. During the first six months, they are taught the technical aspects of sewing. In the next six months, called ‘Getting Started!’ they will practice a lot and learn about setting up a small business. By adopting a tailor, you will make sure the child gets a practical education and a positive outlook on life and a lot of self-confidence.
