Sew for Hope is a program that trains refugee women in Nashville to sew
with the goal that they will be able to be entrepreneurs or employ their
newfound skills elsewhere. It also connects refugee women to others who are in
similar position and helps develop their English skills. Na Nem is a refugee FROM
Myanmar who had to quit an extremely physically demanding job when she became
pregnant and hopes that this class will allow her to find a more suitable job.
She states that she is “grateful” for the class and believes it will provide
more opportunities for her future. Read more about the program
