October 31 - Wow! You did it!

You helped us raise $6,231 in seed money to launch EmpowerAMom.com!

We want to give a shout-out to all the incredible people who gave to our launch campaign so that we could purchase new sewing machines, designer fabrics and supplies to empower moms and create jobs in Africa!

YOU made this happen (along with many other anonymous givers)!

Thanks to you...here are the women trying out our new overlocker sewing machine for the first time! They are thrilled!

JOIN US:

Our goal is to raise $5,000 by October 31st! Find out how this will empower moms and create jobs...

Why October 31st? We need to be able to begin creating all our products in November to sell during the holiday season.

 

WHERE THE FUNDS WILL GO:

Seed money to launch our 2014 “Empower A Mom.com” product line…

  • 2 new industrial sewing machines (in the past our business has used lower quality, borrowed machines)
  • South African designer fabric (enough to showcase photos of throw pillows and bunting in each of our 8 new color schemes, along with a supply of fabric to get us started on initial orders) 
  • Other miscellaneous supplies (thread, needles, bunting ribbon, pillow fillers, etc.)

 

SNEAK PEAK AT OUR NEW PRODUCT LINE:

We are excited to launch our much anticipated 2014 home decor product line…

Introducing throw pillows and bunting made with fabric from exclusive South African designers...perfect for any living room, bedroom or sitting area!!

Fabric Choices: 8 different colors (with 5 different fabric patterns for each color)
