Stitch Ahead Graduation: How Rotary Waterfront is Breaking Poverty Cycles

After the meeting on Friday 30 May, a number of crew, including Captain Mymoena, were delighted to attend the mini Expo Graduation of the new SETA cohorts, at the Stitch Ahead Cape Creations Expo 25 at Salesians.  SETA qualified graduate students showcased their precision to detail, skill and creativity. Sample products were displayed. RCW received The Best District Vocational Project Award for the Stitch Ahead project!👏👏👏

Why Stitch Ahead Matters

The project addresses high youth unemployment, especially among women (now also men) with limited access to accredited skills training in vulnerable communities resulting in lack of financial independence leading to cycles of poverty. “Rotary has been such an important part of this programme’s journey” writes Jo da Silva (Fundraising Manager – Salesians).
