EMPOWERMENT: tailoring classes in Hadapsar slum



We wish to share the steps we are taking next to our-your beneficiaries with you, so that you will also feel the satisfaction of watching them move towards a better way of living.

Thirty women have been regularly attending the tailoring classes given to two groups of fifteen women each. The response to the classes was so overwhelming that a week after they began, thirty more women wanted to sign up, but due to time and staff constraints, we told them they would be enrolled in the second course that is about to begin. Our collaborating agency has provided five sewing machines for the classes.

These courses, like others we will inform you about, are the tools the people of this community need to become more able and self-sufficient individuals, which will have a beneficial effect on their lives and those of their families.
