In 2019 Be A Mercy Foundation in conjunction with its partners began a vocational sewing program for female Rohingya Refugees. This vocational sewing program is six months in duration. Within these six months, students undergo rigorous training in the art of proper sewing and tailoring. By the end of this Ramadan, 250 Rohingya women would have graduated from this program. And it is with your help we would like to gift each graduate with a sewing machine. By owning their own machine, each woman can be empowered and enabled to start providing for their family immediately. Each graduate can earn up to 8,445.39 Bangladeshi Taka ($100.00) a month, which is sufficient for her to support her entire family.

By gifting a sewing machine today, you’ll be saving an entire Rohingya family from hunger, the potential danger of prostitution, and ultimately sowing a ‘goodly loan’ towards their future. As simple a gift a sewing machine may be, in hindsight, it is a gift that facilitates the dignity and empowerment of an entire Rohingya refugee family.
