MCC.
Meet Rejoice Alojo! Alojo is a graduate of the Women Empowerment Program (WEP) training center in Juba, South Sudan. She is one of ten WEP alumni who helped produce face masks for WEP’s WASH (water, sanitation, hygiene) program that was initiated to support COVID-19 response and prevention.
WEP aims to empower women to improve their lives and household’s wellbeing through building their knowledge and skills for income generation. One of their methods is to provide skills development training to women in sewing and embroidery as
well as take-home foot pedal Singer sewing machines.
WEP can be supported by purchasing a “Sewing Machine” in the Christmas Giving Catalogue.
