The school started a vocational training programme in 2008, to teach the students practical skills that will lead to improved employment opportunities when they leave school.

They would like to expand this programme by introducing sewing classes, so they need about 20 sewing machines.

The machines will also be used to make clothes which can be sold in the local area. This will be a valuable source of income for the school, an important step to long-term sustainability. They will also be able to make school uniforms, which will be cheaper than buying them or having them made elsewhere.
