背景資料

In the year 2022, The Zubin Foundation conducted Home Visits for 300+ Ethnic Minority families in Hong Kong where we learnt manyof grassroots housewives wanting to do something in order to earn some extra money for themselves and support the family as well. Last year, The Zubin Foundation launched the Ethnic Minority Women's Empowerment Project. We bought a few sewing machines in our office and taught the grassroots women how to sew bags. We then had the ladies come in twice a week and sewed bags, and some talented ladies did some hand-painted coasters which. The products they made were later sold in different markets, and they earned some pocket money in the process. Now, in 2023, we are making some placemats with recycled newspapers. To do this, we have to 1) roll the newspapers, 2) dye the rolls and 3) make it in a round shape as a placemat. We are now looking for volunteers who can prepare Step 1) making the paper rolls! Please join us and work with the grassroots ladies together! We are hoping that each volunteer can help make 100 paper rolls. You can drop the completed rolls at our centres!
