Meet Janet Asibi, a teacher who provides free Uniforms To Students.
Female Teacher Who Provides Free Sewing Services to Her Students
Kindness still exists in this world. We must not give up on our good works. We have spotted a kindhearted female Madam who is doing unexpected for her students.
Janet Asibi is a 25-year-old Ghanaian professional teacher at Aboabo Presby Primary School at Akim Oda in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
Madam Janet is a complete seamstress, she uses her own money and seeks the assistance of friends and family to knit new school uniforms for children in need.
Janet learned how to use the sewing machine at a young age, and has used her skills to mend and make free uniforms for pupils since 2019.
“Seeing these young people, whom we refer to as potential leaders walk to school in ripped clothes compelled me to use my sewing skills,” she told Melvin Da Enigma on Luv FM’s DriveTime Show.
Janet has stitched uniforms for pupils in several local schools and wants to take her effort nationwide.
“I will continue with this initiative until my last breath. It all started when I was posted to Nsoatre in the Bono Region for my teaching practice. When I reached the school, I realized that some students
come to school with torn uniforms and others too with no uniforms at all. It was affecting their education, so I took it upon myself to get a sewing machine and start to stitch out the worn-out uniforms. So those who were coming to school with torn uniforms, I started stitching and patching it for them. Moving along the line, I realized that it was helping them, those who would have stayed in the house then will be going to school,” Janet said.
A school uniform for a girl costs an average of GHȼ65.
Janet ‘Ama Val the Sewing Teacher’ collaborates with, and pays another seamstress to effectively accomplish her task.
