The Sewing Machine Project collects and distributes sewing machines to groups committed to using the machines to provide opportunities to create, learn new skills, build self confidence, and contribute to their own livelihoods and the well being of their families and communities. The work we do brings light to not only those who receive the machines but also to everyone who touches the organization. Donors know their funds will go directly to the work we do, volunteers feel the pull of being part of something bigger than themselves, and those who receive machines receive a tool that can change their life.
