YWCA Weaving Programme

An extension of the YWCA Empowering Mums (EM) Programme, the YWCA Weaving programme was set up to provide beneficiary women from marginalised backgrounds with a source of income under flexible work arrangements. 

This was made possible with the generous support from Lee Foundation, UPS and Community Foundation of Singapore.

In this programme, our weaving mums receive free training in the unique art of freeform weaving, equipping them with skills to create woven merchandise for flexi-income and to conduct weaving experiences for YWCA members and the caregiving community.

All proceeds from the woven merchandise and weaving workshops go back to supporting our beneficiary mothers.
