‘THIS TRAINING HAS HELPED ME TURN MY PASSION FOR FASHION INTO REALITY’
Xecrainour KalimBira, Tailoring Student at Music Crossroads Malawi
“For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for fashion. But when my parents divorced, and I couldn’t finish high school, that dream seemed unreachable. Family members encouraged me to join the tailoring course, and that’s how I ended up at Music Crossroads. From the first moment, I knew this was the place for me.”

“What makes this course so special is that you learn so much in a short time. It’s not just practical, but also tailored to what you as a student need. They really help you to bring out the best in yourself. Plus, it’s affordable, which was very important for me. I feel at home here; the team is friendly and motivating, and I get all the support I need.”
“My dream is to open my own sewing studio, where I can create and sell my own designs. Thanks to this course, I am now one step closer to making that dream a reality. Until then, I will keep practicing and improving my skills.”
