We did it! The Peace Exchange opens new sewing center in Bukavu

Thanks to your WONDERFUL support, our fearless leaders Katie and Iris were able to open up our second sewing center on their recent trip to the Congo. With your help, The Peace Exchange raised more than $15,000 via Kickstarter to get the new center up and running, doubling the number of women we are able to employ.

Education is not free in the Congo, and the jobs created by this new sewing center in the city of Bukavu help our seamstresses (most of them single mothers) provide schooling for their children.

We are so thrilled, and we could not have done it without your help! Thank you!!
