Melissa Swadick
Sewing

Melissa Swadick from Nsisha Village near Bukoba, Tanzania is 32 years old. She is the mother of four children and has a primary education. She does farming to help feed her children and each morning she does her farm work and all the other household chores.

She wants to begin a sewing business in the afternoon. Before she married, she took a tailoring course, but never had a chance to use this knowledge. Three years ago, her husband bought her a sewing machine. So she began sewing and mending clothes. Now she is learning to make clothes in different styles. She would like to grow her business and be able to pay for her children’s school fees. But she needs some capital to buy material and begin her business in earnest. She could be your Global Business Partner.
