Report from South Africa, Spring 2020

More Care International is a registered Non Profit Organization operating in South Africa in a village near Pretoria.

More Care International operates in the rural areas where the majority of women and girls are in need of upliftment. The majority of our communities do not have skills development centers. We reach out to the poor without discriminating on the basis of religion.

The organization started a program called Woman and Girl-Child Empowerment, which seeks to offer sewing and tailoring skills to women and girls. A sewing project has great potential to create employment, offer skills transfer, and create income.


In all the four provinces of South Africa where we reached to offer our services, we witnessed a great need for sewing projects. Our goal is to help as many women and girls as possible to acquire sewing training.

Since 2008 the Founder/President Mr. Cosmas Bwanya tried to source sewing machines from different individuals and organizations, including our own government, but with no success.

It was last year when our leader Mr Cosmas Bwanya send an enquiry email to Mr. David enquiring if P4P could help in donating sewing machines. It was all joy when the response from Mr. David was positive. He offered to extend the helping hand. The donation of 71 sewing machines was sent to us. We received them with much joy.

While we were still preparing to start our project the coranavirus pandemic led the Government to order a lockdown. We hope that the lockdown will soon come to an end so we can start our project.
