Blessed Gérard's
Community Development Centre

A project of
Blessed Gérard's Care Centre
established by the
Brotherhood of Blessed Gérard

Mandeni, kwaZulu/Natal, Republic of South Africa


Our sewing teacher Mrs. Simphiwe Sybil Mkhize passed away on 6 June 2006 after a severe sickness.
May she rest in peace!

The objective of Blessed Gérard's Community Development Centre is the training for unemployed persons with the purpose of enabling them to obtain employment.

 

Our first step towards this is a sewing school.

We employed a qualified sewing teacher, to give dressmaking courses.

It should give skills to the needy to obtain employment in the textile industry and to encourage self-employment and thus to make them independent of charity.

The old slogan "give a fish to a poor man, then he has enough for a day - teach him fishing, then he will always have enough" is still true and expresses best what we are trying to achieve in our community development centre.

Starting as inexperienced beginners the participants after a while are able to sew beautiful garments of high quality.
