Benjamin
We would like to share the story of Benjamin, who was recently awarded a micro-enterprise grant to start his own tailoring business. Benjamin is from Nigeria and has severe hemophilia A.
Benjamin began his journey with a two year apprenticeship, where he vigorously learned all aspects of the trade. By the time he graduated, he had become known in his neighborhood and church for being a tailor. Not only is Benjamin known for his skills, he is known as a proactive advocate for his bleeding disorder community. He is an active camp member and volunteers at local events. At only 21, he was ready to start his own business. Benjamin applied for a micro-enterprise grant to purchase the supplies needed to start his business, which he was awarded. Benjamin plans to give back to his community with the money earned from his business. Our program partners in Nigeria posted this beautiful message:
“Empowering Dreams, One Stitch at a Time! ✂️
We are thrilled to announce Benjamin Gwaza who received a microgrant to setup a sewing workshop. He was able to purchase both a manual and electric sewing machines! With this opportunity, he can now take his passion for sewing to the next level, creating beautiful designs and building a sustainable livelihood.
This is more than just a grant—it’s an investment in skill, independence, and a brighter future. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners, Save One Life, for making this possible. Your generosity is changing lives!
Congratulations, Benjamin! We can’t wait to see your creations.”
