Giving Tuesday is coming up!

Do you want to help young women in Mozambique realize a different future? This year the Mozambique Initiative’s Giving Tuesday focus will do just that: We're supporting local churches that will provide sewing courses, and thus vocational skills, to women in their community. Mark your calendar for November 30, follow us on Facebook and visit www.mzinitiative.org to help share the story. Then, encourage your small group, friends and family to give a little to make a big difference.

The price of a sewing machine in Mozambique is $700 USD. A roll of fabric to make school uniforms is $80. A box of hand needles is $1.50. Any gift of any size will make a real difference. Learn more →
