For the Vélénia association, which works for human dignity and the development of more just and resilient communities, this initiative is a true source of inspiration. It is based on an essential belief: every individual has the potential to build a better future, provided they receive appropriate support, relevant training, and concrete opportunities.
An organization committed to supporting, training, and restoring hope

The sewing and weaving workshop

for sewing, creating reusable sanitary pads, washable diapers, bags, and pouches;
- alterations and the creation of clothing ;
