Umoja Vocation Sewing School (for Girls)

Umoja Women Group saw the need to provide young adults with a marketable skill and to teach them to help themselves and their parents. Umoja Women's Group purchased a piece of land and began cultivating corn to raise money. Soon the Umoja Sewing School opened in a one-room schoolhouse. Natanya Myers - student visiting from University of Oregon in 1996 - lead a fund raising effort in Japan that raised over US $1,000 to help finish the building.

After graduating from middle-school, this is the only opportunity they
have to learn a skill to help then in their lives.
