The One Thread Project

It was an honor to share the story of our most recent trip with on Sunday. Connections like these remind us that we aren’t doing this work alone. Thank you for joining this mission to create a lasting impact.

As we reflect on the beauty of our trip, we stand firm in the relationships we built—relationships strengthened and empowered by our shared commitment to educate and uplift the beautiful families of Congo.

Day in the NEW Nsele Center! Sewing class launched, team photos, language classes and Seed Loan Business success.

Visiting Seed Loan businesses, painting murals, meeting new friends and reminiscing with old friends, teaching language classes and so much more all fit in on Day2!

Congo and American team unites. The Young Scholars are thriving at school while their mommas sew and create.

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of women everywhere. 💛

From the mothers in our Young Scholars Program, to the incredible women building businesses through sewing, these women are the heart of the One Thread Project.

In these photos you’ll see Amy spending time with the women and families who inspire this work every day. One of the sweetest moments from the trip was meeting a little girl named Amy, named after her.

Today and every day, we celebrate their courage, joy, and determination.

Happy International Women’s Day. 🌍✨

Why sewing?

Because a sewing machine is a business in a box —
providing income, sustainable skills, and dignity for families in Congo.

One machine.
One skill.
Endless impact.
