We could not do this alone.
Sew Much Hope works alongside organizations who share our mission — carrying machines on their trips, teaching sewing, and connecting us with the communities who need them most.
How a partnership works
We supply the sewing machines. Our partners take them into country, set up classes, and stay with the students long after we could. That division of labor lets a small Utah nonprofit reach Haiti, Nepal, Ukraine and Zambia without a single overseas office.
- You tell us how many machines, electric or hand crank, and when your team travels
- We refurbish, pack and hand them over, usually in carry-on luggage
- Your team delivers and teaches; we share our training videos
- You send back a photo and a few lines. That is how our stories get written.

Need machines for your program?
Since our relaunch we have heard from more than ten nonprofits, most of them in Africa, and shipping is usually the hard part. Tell us about your program, who will teach, and how the machines would travel. We will tell you plainly what we can do.
