The Sewing Center is where the magic happens. We are blessed to work in such a beautiful building and location. Most of our seamstresses for The Peace Exchange work in the A-frame (photo below). This building, create by the non-profit hands of many, acts not only as a sewing center but a women's center as well. The women sew/work on the entire upstairs of the structure while the downstairs has a separate entrance and is dedicated to helping rebuild women who have gone through horrific hardships and trauma. The lower facilities has beds, a nice bathroom, living room, kitchen area and office. The entire center is run off solar panels creating a unique form of self sufficiency in a very poor area. On average 6-9 women, with their small children, live on the property at a time. We could not be more happy to be working with theses talented Peace Exchange artists... off a dirt road in Mumosho. Yes, this place you see below - located in the middle of rugged African landscapes - is where the magic happens.
