Al-Iman Community Skills Development

Our skills development program has a profound impact in addressing unemployment and provides entrepreneurial skills needed to drive SMMEs and the local economy in the communities we serve.

That is why we offer sewing classes to people of all ages and skill levels. Many of our students are disadvantaged women eager to acquire skills in order to empower themselves to escape poverty, abuse or fend for their families. Our program covers a wide range of topics, from basic sewing techniques to advanced design and pattern making.

We offer hands-on classes and workshops, as well as opportunities to put your skills into practice through projects and collaborations with local businesses and organizations. Our courses are overseen by experienced instructors who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and skills.

Since we understand the needs of our students, we have tailored our courses to provide access to opportunities and resources which may not be available elsewhere, this includes tailor made short courses for older women are who are illiterate and require special attention.

In addition, we offer SETA accredited courses, a variety of special programs, including courses in fashion design, costuming, and textiles. Our students have access to advance sewing machine and, cutting rooms, and garment construction labs. On yearly basis, we enroll multiple students and produce over 90% graduates, all whom are honored state-of-the-art graduation packs which includes state-of-the-art, textile, certificate and continuous support from the organization.

We ensure that our graduates have access to partnership, employment and workshops. Our sewing program is run by a dedicated team of volunteers who are committed to making a difference in their community.

We rely on the support of generous donors, sponsors, volunteers and partners to accomplish this our mission.
