Vocational sewing initiatives in Nigeria and Ghana
Overview
In Nigeria, tailor Abdulkadir Hassan-Basri conducted a 120-hour sewing marathon at Maryam Abacha American University of Nigeria to produce 200 uniforms for underprivileged primary school students. This “Sew For The Nation” initiative is currently awaiting a response from Guinness World Records.
In Ghana, philanthropist Alhaji Seidu Agongo, in partnership with the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), launched a nationwide program to distribute 10,000 sewing machines to vulnerable women and young people. The project aims to foster self-employment and economic empowerment. Following an initial phase that distributed over 800 machines, beneficiaries reported that the equipment helps apprentices overcome barriers to vocational training by allowing them to practice with greater independence.
