Fashion means
different things to different people such as clothes, bags, shoes and so many
other fashion intricate pieces. The big question who makes these items, how was
it done and who crafted them for you to desire to purchase them. That's
were mastery of the craft makers come in. You will be shocked that some of them
are made by people with special needs.
St. Eve West
African Fashion Week is at it again, this year we want everyone to partake in
this project. We want it to be interactive, we are taking it to your door step
and we want you to come out for fashion.
The physically
challenged in our society have a lot to offer in this industry as much as the
fashionistas, why do we say that this? We see potentials were everything seems
bleak. As a result, we have decided to give funds to these special set of
people but most importantly knowing that a lot of them have the passion, skill
sets and gifts to be fashion designers.
The fashion
industry has so many arms i.e cloth making, photography, retailing, pattern
making, beads, fabric embellishment, ironing, to mention a few. In these
various aspect we have identified that our brothers and sisters who are
physically challenged can be given life changing opportunities from which
they'll earn a living and possibly become the next super star in the industry.
SEWAFW is happy
to announce that it will be giving 12% of the proceeds from this event to
Charity through various NGO's including those that cater for people who are
physically challenged. One of such organizations is the BETHESDA School/Home
for the blind. We recognize that some who are challenged in their sight there
are making bags and other fashion items and we are happy to partner with them
also for this course.
We welcome you
to come into their world and join us to expose these rare talents to the world
and make Africa great with our unique rich art and cultural fashion.
Welcome to the
Charity world of SEWAFW.
