Last month, students from our wonderful partners at Dar Al Hijrah’s (DAH) Sewing Academy put the final touches on drapes they made to spruce up our Counseling Space. The DAH Sewing Academy trains women on sewing skills. Once they complete the curriculum, they are gifted a sewing machine, allowing them to become self-employed.

Instructor, Fatima Mhmedi watches proudly as one of her students puts finishing touches on the curtains.
