And the selected 4th Quarter 2019 nonprofit is…

This quarter, our 100 Women Who Care Northern Virginia giving circle will be collectively donating to Dar Al-hijrah Islamic Center‘s Sewing Program. The DAH Sewing Program is part of a progressive self-sufficiency track of classes to help refugees, single moms, and women in the nearby family shelter move toward financial stability. The women receive 100 hours of hands-on instruction, and upon graduation, each receives a brand new sewing machine so she can make a living from home, even if she has to care for her kids or other family members. Recently, the sewing program has been expanded to offer advanced graduates a professional externship experience, and in the coming months, DAH will launch a Sewing Cooperative in which the women can become members and earn an even more regular income stream from their work.
