The Tailoring Factory is a training and clothing manufacturing project working with the Association des Couturiers de Djebonoua to create economic opportunities for young people.
Our goal is to transform the lives of thousands of people in the next 10 years, creating substantial economic gains for art workers, and positioning them to flourish across international markets.
An estimated 600 tailors in Djebonoua, Côte d’Ivoire needs a capacity development. In 2024, more than 90% of young people expressed their desire to access economic development opportunities, compared to 30% of tailors in 2021.
These hundreds of people rely on their design capabilities to feed themselves, send their children to school, pay for better health services for their families, and have a better quality of life.
The Tailoring Factory will manufacture clothes and many other items that will be sold in their ‘’online and physical marketplace’’ to benefit tailors and designers.
Since 2024, Djebonoua Development Foundation has partnered with the Association des Couturiers de Djebonoua to build the Tailoring Factory to create economic opportunities for young people across the municipality of Djebonoua. Their vision is to transform the lives of thousands of people in the clothing design industry by 2040 by creating economic development opportunities for them.
