Save a Girl: Sewing Centers
Save a Girl: Sewing Centers

TGUP makes its Save a Girl™ kits at sewing centers in Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania, Uganda, India, and Cameroon. The centers employ local seamstresses in well-paying, dignified work that is often the first paying job they have ever had. When not sewing SaG kits, the centers make uniforms for local schools and hospitals, baby blankets, maternity clothes, dresses and other item to meet the needs of their community.

Nepal Sewing Center

TGUP's Program Director, Brenda Birrell, has been instrumental in overseeing the setup and design of the sewing centers that TGUP operates. She has visited the centers in Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Tanzania, and India where she trained the seamstresses in the production of the kits, provided expertise to reduce costs, verified quality control procedures, and suggested ways to increase efficiency. She has also consulted with the center in Nepal to help streamline their procedures.

As always, every Save a Girl™ kit donated is given free of charge to girls.

To date, TGUP has made and donated 129,005 Save a Girl™ kits to girls in eleven countries.
