SewGood
What if the answer to poverty was not aid, but agency?
"SewGood" is a bold initiative equipping 1,400 individuals across Africa and the Caribbean with the vocational skills, tools, and confidence to sew their way out of poverty and into purpose. Run by Life In Abundance UK, this campaign supports training through an LIA-accredited sewing courses, personal hand-sewing kits, and access to sewing machines for micro-enterprise.
“I don’t want charity, I want to work with my hands.” Kana, Ethiopia

We aim to raise £174,000 to fund:
● 1,400 Places on an LIA-accredited vocational sewing course (£55 each)

● Each gift of £210 fully equips one participant to complete their training, receive tools, and access a shared sewing machine.
“The training that LIA gave me opened my eyes and I saw what I have that can help me thrive.” Pastor Claver in Burundi
