Kotonga
Tailoring
Kotonga, Lingala for to sew, is an initiative to help tackle unemployment amongst single mothers in the DR Congo, Kinshasa by offering tailoring courses. We strongly believe in giving back to those who are less fortunate and vulnerable, the reason why we teamed with Bless Foundation to support this initiative. Vulnerable employment is 88.2% amongst women, via World Bank, which leaves women without formal work arrangements, social protection, and safety nets to guard against economic shocks; thus they are more likely to fall into poverty.
Our courses run on a 3 month programme, taught by an expert, which the women have to complete before receiving a completion certificate. The course teaches them about the foundations for beginners and already tailors in order to strengthen their knowledge and skills on the principals of tailoring.
Launched in 2022, we have been able to successfully help a numerous amount of women who now have gone forth and become either independent or have joined workshops.
