Education, Hope, and A Way Out of Poverty

NOT A HANDOUT BUT A HELPING HAND

About 47 percent of rural women are illiterate. Living in poverty with a limited education greatly hinders these women from finding quality jobs to support their families. They are often at risk of being trapped in dehumanizing professions (like the sex trade) in order to feed their children. 

Our tailoring schools focus on helping people in and around slums. Women in these areas are often underestimated, treated as lesser and made to live a life of dependence with low self-esteem and lack of confidence. Most of the students at our sewing school are 13 years or older, already carrying the responsibilities of family members such as cooking, taking care of siblings or even having their own children. This is why we believe it is so important to provide them with access to education, skills training and empowerment programs.
