We signed our first paid contract in April 2017 after our regional project manager visited the local kindergarten to speak with the school administrator about Sewing Sisters. 

Hayfa is a deaf/mute mother of three sons.  She lives in the Rwanga Community and is from Kojo village.  They were living in their village peacefully when suddenly ISIS attacked. 

When ISIS attacked our community in Khansor, my 10 daughters and I were forced to flee our home – and leave behind every single thing we owned.

Our founder and genocide survivor, Taban Shoresh, has chosen to celebrate her 35th birthday year by aiming to raise £350,000 for displaced, vulnerable women and girls.

Give Taban the best birthday present by helping her raise funds to help others.  #thirtyfiveto350k Appeal ends 31st December 2018.

Sindis , 22. Back in the summer of 2014, I was living a happy, simple life with my husband and young son, excitedly awaiting the birth of our second child. But on Sunday August 3rd, everything changed, tearing our whole world apart.

The humanitarian situation in Kurdistan remains dire with nearly 3million people displaced into the region as a result of the barbaric atrocities committed by Daesh (ISIS). The suffering of innocent families are unimaginable, all forced out of their homes and losing loved ones.

Our retreats are filled with love, a big heart focused on sharing love and giving back. Not only will you be supporting yourself but you’ll also be supporting other women impacted by conflict and displacement to rebuild their lives. How many retreats can say that? It is a truly unique way of sharing love, women helping women.
