PARTNERSHIP WITH SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
Project Pencil Case (since 2009) is delighted to work in partnership with Social Enterprise Arakele Fashion Design College plc (since 2013) – an Ethiopian registered Small Business Providing Training in Sewing and Design to Ethiopian Women – helping to improve lives and create sustainable opportunities.
Working with like minded organisations supporting marginalised women, we provide scholarship training through Arakele, including refugees from neighbouring countries such as Somalia and Eritrea, women rescued from trafficking and abuse and IDP (internally displaced persons) affected by civil war as well as case by case students who yearn to learn but lack the resources….
Arakele is fully equipped and staffed and has been rated as a “Model Center of learning” – providing professional training in sewing (traditional and modern) including pattern design and providing trainees with the necessary skills to produce a variety of items.
The cost for one student to learn (5 month course with month 6 spent producing pencil cases and period pad kits for donation to students in need) including all costs: tuition, all materials needed, examination fee and graduation the cost per student is
380 gbp or 500 usd or 455 euros
Students learn the following:
• Perfection in hand and machine sewing including technical operation
• Pattern making for trousers, shirt and dress
• Advanced classes in sketching and designing
