    I am launching a new business whose product requires sewing. Can you tell me a little about Sewing for Hope – 1-how you get materials to Africa, 2- sewing fees, and 3- how quickly materials are sent back to the United States.

    Thank you,

    Patty Karn

      Patty, I don’t know the logistics of how to send the material or how much it costs. You might want to contact the organization directly for that information. You can download a presskit from their website (http://www.fountofmercy.com/Site/sewinghopehome.html) that includes contact information for the director.
