Tailoring is an income generating skill and in one month there were 1,987 students studying this course. Women go on to make clothes for their families and start small businesses sewing for others, some also become sewing teachers.
It is a gateway skill, enabling women to gain independence and with the confidence they gain from this achievement they seek more education. These women also prioritize educating their daughters having experienced the course.
“My name is Nafisa. I am 29-years-old and have 3 children and unfortunately, my husband died in an accident. After this we suffered so many economic and social problems. In that situation I could not fulfill the basic need of food for my children. During quarantine days I was able to use my sewing skills and earn some money from my customers to provide for my children. It made all the difference!”
