YWCA of Singapore has just incepted a new Social Enterprise: YWCA Weaving programme!

Through the learning of the craft of weaving using Saori looms, our beneficiary mothers would earn an alternative income through the facilitation of workshops and the sale of woven products after their training.

The philosophy of Saori Weaving resonates deeply with YWCA, as it celebrates the true freedom of expression by allowing the release of individuality. The human quality of SAORI allows mistakes as every weave has its own character, and everyone can express their creativity freely through this craft, regardless of age, gender, disability or intellectual aptitude.

The programme is currently training our beneficiary mums in the craft of weaving using Saori looms.

YWCA Board Members also attended the first official workshop of the programme. Using Saori looms, each participant learnt the craft of weaving with colourful yarn. It was a therapeutic experience for all, as everyone unleashed their creativity and completed a scarf by the end of the session.

Classes are now open to the public! Register your interest here or contact ywcaent@ywca.org.sg or call 6223 1227 for more details.
