How to help?

Shoshana can only survive with donations. Therefore, we are glad for every support we get in order to help needy women.
Martha B. Foerch regularly visits the projects and checks the situation of the apprenticeship in the sewing centers. Besides that, she decides which projects need our support. At the moment there are 19 projects. Each project costs about € 200–250 a month, depending on the currency exchange rate. Every project gets a certain amount of money. It is for the teacher’s salary, sewing center rent, cloth for practice, and charges like power, transport, sewing machine repair, etc.

That system is the only way to make sure donations aren’t used for purposes other than intended. Moreover, the centres undergo regular audits.
Some women want to have their own sewing machines after their apprenticeship. We provide each of them a machine for a small monthly payment. A simple, mechanical sewing machine is € 75, with zigzag stitch it is about € 100. The sewing machine remains Shoshana’s property until the woman has paid back a settled amount of money. We can guarantee that your donation causes a huge change in the women’s life. With this apprenticeship we give the women the chance to help themselves and

their families. It is also possible for you to adopt a project. Don’t hesitate to ask us for more information. Our costs for administration and overhead are minimal because we have volunteers to help. Even the care for this website is a volunteer’s work. We are pleased about YOUR donation!
