Dream Stitches
- Our 2019 and 2025 Charity Partner
Established in 2004 by the Anglican church, the program began in response to the needs of recently arrived refugees. Initially the program welcomed refugee women from South Sudan, teaching them to sew so that they could make clothes for themselves and their families. We are a multicultural program and presently include migrant and refugee women from Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China and Iran.
