Audrey was born in 2004 and lost her parents when she was two years old. She endured a lot of hardship and it was really hard to get by. She dropped out of school because she did not want to burden her auntie who she is currently living with.She joined the sewing progrmme operated by Together for Development in January which is ongoing for three months. She will finish the training in April and we cannot wait to see what is in store for her. We trust and believe her future is in good hands, with the skills gained she can do so much . Please put her in your list of prayer and support her to be able to put her skills into practice.

It is possible to help women attain life skills to create jobs for themselves. It is a strategy to protect and help them keep their dignity. TD-BIRASHOBOKA strives to see this possible through our sewing project. The project aims to combat poverty that tackles the most vulnerable in our communities such as the widows, orphans, single mothers etc.. to make a difference in their own lives by empowering them with the skill of sewing. Many have been changed, however the journey is still long in terms of reaching the needs of the community. It requires assets which TD-BIRASHOBOKA is limited with; such as the financial resource and the materials needed for the project. Your contribution will be of great value to serve more vulnerable women and others who are need of our support. She is one of our ladies who is currently attending Together for Development sewing class at the main office and will be graduating April 25th 2024. What a great joy it is to train more than 700 in the last 3 years, who are now able to create a better life for themselves, children and families and as result the community is served.

But now, he can make good sandals and is now capable of selling them together with his group friends also living with disability in Kirwena, Rumonge province, south of Burundi. IT IS POSSIBLE TO CHANGE from poverty to a stable life by learning and applying small life skills!!
