Repairing clothes, making a tablecloth or teaching the girls how to sew is something a number of our ‘mothers’ like to do and know how to do well. A while ago we were able to buy one new sewing machine which we are very happy with. However, we now need a second one as we have three families in two different areas. Unfortunately, the treadle sewing machine can no longer be used and we would like to replace it with a modern and smaller sewing machine. More practical and easy to store.

The costs of a sewing machine are $ 275

In every family house we have storage cupboards for spare blankets, pillows and sheets for the girls as well as for personal items such as clothes and towels for the ‘mothers’. Just like the girls’ wardrobes these four veneered cupboards are almost falling apart and we would like to replace them.

We need $ 3.300 in total. Will you help us?

Our three family houses, the building for independent living, the multipurpose building and other structures are located on two different areas. On those areas we also have many fields, trees and plants and so there is lots of maintenance needed. Especially during the wet season, which lasts for six months, the grass literally shoots up from the soil and this means a lot of mowing. We have two mowers, perhaps better known as brush cutters, that we use to keep the grass short. Not only do we do this because it looks neat, but it also keeps pests out of the garden, such as snakes. Safety first.

One of our mowers must be replaced and so we are looking for sponsors to help buy a new one.

A new mower costs $ 330,-
