VK Innovations
VK Innovations is a non-profit organization that partnered with the NGO Women First to begin a women’s sewing initiative. The plan supports women in impoverished communities by creating economic stability using creativity and the traditional craft of stitching. Timothy Tumba created VK to use sewing to empower women in South Africa living in poverty. Women First was opened 2014 to support the educational training of the underprivileged, the rehabilitation of leprosy patients and those who are physically challenged.
Timothy backpacked across South Africa 6 years ago. During his journey, he saw an opportunity to empower women in the country through vocational training. Timothy recognized that more than 50% of women in South Africa are illiterate, and only 29% are actively employed. Additionally, those who are employed are paid 46% less than men holding the same positions. VK Innovations realize that investing in women is smart economics and essential to reducing poverty. With this in mind, the initiative provides the training, financial assistance, materials and communal space to empower women while preserving local craft traditions.
