Kanar Fashion Designs is more than a sewing company and school, it is a transformative movement committed to empowering youth, women, and marginalized individuals through high-quality, hands-on training in tailoring and fashion design. Founded by a former refugee who turned a personal skill into a global empowerment mission, Kanar Fashion Designs serves as a catalyst for self-reliance, creativity, and economic opportunity.

Our mission is to deliver accessible vocational education to underserved communities, including Liberians, Africans, African Americans, victims of street life and substance abuse, orphans, single mothers, and others facing systemic barriers. Through structured programs in both Liberia and Phoenix, Arizona, we foster personal growth, technical excellence, and entrepreneurial readiness. With a vision to become a leading international training center, Kanar Fashion Designs transforms fashion into a powerful tool for sustainable change, community upliftment, and generational impact.

Donor-Supported Training Scholarships

We are proud to partner with generous individuals and organizations who believe in our mission and support students through scholarships, training resources, and mentorship. These donors make it possible for trainees to access life-changing opportunities, regardless of financial circumstances.
