A small sewing business was started for teenage single mothers in 2019 by purchasing sewing machines ($250) and providing training.
It produced hundreds of facemasks, which Phoenix funded, to give to the elderly and high-risk population at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Plan Costura was started in 2015 in Guatemala, buying large weaving looms for “cortes” (the indigenous traditional dresses) and investing in training for the women. The materials are sold locally.
Please contact us if you are interested in Plan Corte and require further information.
