Put a machine to work.
Your sponsorship helps put a sewing machine into the hands of a skilled tailor in Nigeria who has the ability but not the equipment.
Sponsoring a sewing machine is one of the most direct ways to support the work of Asake's Projects. Every contribution goes toward the purchase, distribution, and delivery of sewing machines to selected recipients through the Sewing Machine Initiative. Open to eligible applicants regardless of gender.
Asake's Projects is a registered 501(c)(3) U.S. nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
