Thank you so much for all your kind donations of sarees and other fabric. We have now run out of storage space and won't be receiving donations for a while. Unless, of course, it's storage space you are donating! 😁
Many thanks again our hearts (and our suitcases) are full.

At Kundakala it is very common to make a garment for yourself and then a mini one for your daughter 💖.
Here is a recent graduate from our programme in Hackney who has made a set of aprons.

We are so so delighted with the progress of our Make and Mend participants in Hackney. They've now progressed to making elasticated trousers for themselves.
