Lebone Sewing Project

The Lebone Sewing Project was started on 12 January 2004.  Six ladies pooled their resources and skills to start their business, with the Department of Welfare supplying them with some cloth and six sewing machines.  The municipality helped with accommodation for the business and located them at the Koffiefontein Library. 

The group has really tried to make a difference to the unemployment crisis in Koffiefontein – particularly the women.  The group makes traditional garments, shirts, dresses, blouses and trousers.
