How It Works

“Reclaiming Our Sinew” is a 24-week full-time program, with six core courses. One part of the program prepared learners for further upgrading programs, towards entering the workforce and enhancing their employability. In the other side, learners gained skills in traditional sewing, which allowed them to outfit their families.
