Sewing Machines for Ecuador
Donation protected
My awesome neighbor Cheryl is a recently retired Elementary school teacher and is volunteering as a missionary for our church, along with her husband, in Tulcan, Ecuador. While there they have identified some real needs and are trying to make a difference one life at a time. These sweet ladies with Cheryl have a small business selling aprons made from locally produced textiles.
Many of their husbands work 7 days a week to provide for their families, earning $300-400 a month. These women have found a way to supplement their families' income by selling aprons and other handmade goods in local markets where there is a demand. The trouble is most of the work is done by hand because they only have one machine between them and it is an old, treadle (non-electric) Singer.
I want to help these women so they can help their families, by getting them at least two new sewing machines. They can be purchased locally for $200-$300 dollars. Want to help me?
