Made In Africa: Where Fashion Empowers and Dreams Revive
Our aim is to employ a million Africans. We started the journey 10 years ago in the heart of Africa, Cameroon. Last year we lost the business but now we are back hungrier than ever ready to fulfil this dream. Why made in Africa. Born and raise in the continent by a single mum of 7, we used to sell sweets in primary school and always had some sort of business, in Uk we use to sell second hand clothing nad use the service of tailors to make alterations to our garment and we understand the importance of giving back to the continent that made us who we are today, but also because we know first hand how important those jobs are to support people who are most vulnerable.
Importance of tailors in the Africa community and why we should preserve it.
Tailor jobs are important in Africa for several reasons, contributing to both economic and social aspects of the region. Here are some key points highlighting the significance of tailor jobs:
Here's Why Your Help Matters:
- Local Economic Development: Tailoring provides a source of income for individuals and families. In many African countries, where formal employment opportunities can be limited, especially in rural areas, tailoring offers a viable means of livelihood. This contributes to poverty alleviation and local economic development.
- Employment Opportunities: The tailoring industry provides employment opportunities for a wide range of individuals, including those with skills in sewing, pattern-making, and design. This is especially important for women in many African societies, offering them a chance to participate in the workforce and contribute to their families' well-being.
- Community Building: Tailoring workshops and businesses often serve as community hubs, bringing people together. This fosters a sense of community and shared identity, contributing to social cohesion. Back it because you believe in our mission of Made in Africa. This isn’t charity, just hard work.
