活動時間:2022-09-01(四) / 31區
 

國際崇她31 區於2020-2022 執行,並於2022 德國漢堡年會獲得國際崇她頒發服務貢獻獎之[崇她愛滿新民及跨國服務行動],其中跨國服務係與理念相同之愛女孩國際關懷協會合作,由31 區社員捐助4.4 萬美元購買250 台縫紉機,幫助烏干達及非洲偏遠地區設立縫紉訓練中心,培訓當地婦女縫製布衛生棉及相關布製品,以提升其技能,並達經濟自主及增進健康與子女受教機會。
縫紉訓練中心成立幾個月來,已培育許多非洲地區婦女,並製成多樣式的美麗成品,愛女孩協會特別帶回部分產品,於9/6 台北三社社長交接典禮活動中展現成果。當日與會社員及來賓皆獲贈一個花色鮮豔的布袋,會場並設有崇她商店,義賣許多非洲婦女手編及縫製產品,社員們慷慨解囊搶購留念,並很高興得以見證31 區跨國社服之成果。
 
除協助地方婦女學習技能外,本計畫另在烏干達馬凱雷雷大學設置一間裁縫訓練中心,且更進一步與終身學習教育學院合作開課,增加設立專門的教室,讓學生們可以研究時尚與服裝設計,課程為期二年,結訓後可獲得國家認證的證書。這一切都跟[技職烏干達]的政策有關,提供年輕人學習雇主需要的實用技能,並且給予學位。時裝和服裝設計系教導學生將設計、美學和美感應用於服裝及其配飾的藝術,我們都很期待看到學生們未來的設計作品。
 
日後相信縫紉訓練中心的婦女及學生們將會產製更多樣的成品,以縫紉技術翻轉他們的生命,找回自信與自尊,讓國際崇她31 區的棉薄之力,為婦女及女孩建立更美好的世界。
