A new Basic Tailoring Course started in September. The first day of class, the teacher, Mrs. Panchashila, distributed Certificates to the women who had attended and completed the previous course. Ten women are attending basic course, and those who have completed it come in regularly to continue practicing and honing their skills.
The basic course focuses on learning to design patterns for dresses and blouses, cutting and stitching. After completing the three-month course, the participants get a certificate from the Government Training Institute that helps them start their own business.
Asha-Kiran’s goal behind training women in garment making and design is to equip them with a valuable skill towards gaining economic self-sufficiency. We are also in the process of recruiting women for our upcoming Tailoring Business course, which will focus on the commercial aspects of tailoring.
