Mafube Sewing School

Youth unemployment | Evaton North, Vaal

The sewing school was established in Vaal, Evaton North to address the high rate of youth unemployment and shortage of skills in the area by providing a SETA accredited qualification to the youth in the community.  This project has a team of six already skilled women with training in sewing and run year-long training programmes.

The project aims to grow and attract more students but currently struggles to generate sufficient income as some of the students cannot afford the costs associated with the training and project members require coaching to begin to view their training institution as a viable business.
