Sewing Machine

Our family has experienced having our home broken into and things stolen.  It is not a nice feeling and shakes any sense of security you might have felt in your home.  Thankfully we have had the opportunity, over time, to replace some of the things taken and put extra security measures in place.

This, however, is not the case for our nightguard, Moses.   We have known Moses for around 12 years and have visited his home on different occasions.  The family lives in one room and the family consists of 7 people.  Not too long ago his home was also broken into.  One of their prized possessions was a sewing machine.  This was given to them when Robinah (Moses' wife) completed seamstress school.  It was a gift from one of our friends and supporters.  This enabled Robinah to stay at home with her children but also to work and gain additional income for her family.

We asked Moses to price out some sewing machines as we would like to replace it with another one.  The cost of sewing machines range from £80 to £400 depending on complexity.  If you would like to be part of this project then please send us an email at pam.wunderli@maf-uganda.org and we will give you further information on how you can contribute.

Thank you for considering.
