Women Empowerment – Sewing a Future of Dignity
The Challenge
Odisha’s rural women often lack financial independence due to limited livelihood options. Our sewing initiative bridges this gap by transforming homemakers into entrepreneurs.
Program Structure
Skill Training
- 3-month courses covering tailoring, embroidery, and machine maintenance.
- Certifications recognized by Odisha Skill Development Authority.
Resource Support
- Provide sewing machines at subsidized rates (payable in installments).
- Distribute free toolkits (scissors, measuring tapes, threads) to graduates.
Market Linkages
- Partner with local cooperatives to sell products like school uniforms and sarees.
- Facilitate bulk orders from NGOs and government hostels.
Success Story
Radha (32), a trainee from Mahimagadi, now runs a small tailoring unit earning ₹10,000/month. She trains 5 other women in her village.
