Sewing Program for Refugees
More than a class — a place of friendship, community, and opportunity.
GoTEN’s Sewing Program equips refugee women with practical sewing skills that can open doors to sustainable income and employment. Whether beginner or advanced, students gain confidence, new abilities, and a supportive community.
This welcoming environment fosters deep relationships between refugee women and Christian volunteers, creating meaningful cross-cultural connections alongside valuable skill development.
Volunteer in a Sewing Class
Sewing classes are hosted weekly at the GoTEN Training Center and led by experienced seamstresses. Volunteers assist students, practice skills alongside them, and help create a warm and encouraging environment. No sewing experience is required for the beginner class — just a willingness to serve and support learners.
Beginner and advanced classes meet for 1.5 hours. Volunteers typically work with 2–3 students, offering support, conversation, and encouragement as they learn.
