        <DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>Sewing Skills + Survivor Employment Program. In FY25, Not I But We Inc's nonprofit grantee operated a trauma-informed sewing and employment program for survivors of trafficking and gender-based violence. The grantee trained 8 new survivors in vocational sewing skills, with all participants placed in paid employment roles at Not I But We upon completion of training. In total, 9 survivor-artisans received healing-centered employment during the fiscal year, accumulating over 11,000 hours of dignified, stable work. The program provided 130+ hours of free therapy, promoted 2 survivors into leadership roles within the organization, and indirectly impacted 30+ family members through the economic and emotional stability created by survivors' employment. The program operates as a survivor-led, healing-centered workplace rooted in the belief that dignified employment is a pathway to long-term recovery and restoration.</DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>
