We will use your generous donation towards purchasing new sewing equipment and sewing supplies for Atira's Enterprising Women Making Art (EWMA) program.
 
EWMA was launched in 2003 as a development initiative of Atira Women’s Resource Society. It has focused on supporting women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside to work together to develop an alternative form of business or employment that is grounded in their needs and realities. The program is a self employment initiative for women impacted by violence who face significant barriers to traditional employment and who seek safe, income-generating opportunities free from exploitation, abuse or other vulnerabilities.
 
Please visit their website to learn more about these AWESOME women.
