Sankofa Empowering Women in Ghana (SEWING) is an entrepreneurship and skills training fellowship program to combat child labor and female exploitation. It focuses on promoting sustainable educational and economic opportunities while also mitigating the detrimental environmental consequences caused by the fast-fashion industry.
SEWING is affiliated with PeaceJam, an international peace organization that has mentored 1.3 million youth through the leadership of 14 Nobel Peace Laureates since its founding in 1996. Reaching thousands of people worldwide, SEWING has been featured at the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates and is built on an international network of partners, sponsors, and supporters from 5 continents and 23 countries.
Since it is a systemic issue, the child and female exploitation that SEWING addresses cannot just be solved by a few people; it takes a network of dedicated and passionate changemakers.
