TRINILOS

WHY THIS PROJECT?

Due to the lack of up-to-date training, sewing machines and some textile supplies, vulnerable women struggle to build their financial independence through sewing.
GANYDAR will provide these essential elements.

Description

In Trinidad (Cuba), there is a project to turn the city into a 'creative city', focusing on the creative and artistic aspects of handicrafts.
In conjunction with the local authorities, Ganydar is organizing a 2-year 'Confection, Couture' training course.
Ganydar provides a number of specialized courses, sewing machines and certain fabrics and accessories that are impossible to find locally. The city of Trinidad provides the premises and the organization, supported by a team of three enthusiastic professionals (2 women and 1 man).

Objectives

This pilot program will enable 40 Cuban women to train and improve their standard of living each year through the work of their hands.

Personalized teaching
The joy of learning!
