CDS-Shoshana sewing centre - Gaddipadu, Guntur.

The first sewing project of Shoshana started in the year 2000 in Guntur. For the last 25 years the sewing project is running successfully training hundreds of needy women in Guntur helping them to earn their living.

Mrs. Nirmala is the sewing instructor at this centre from the very beginning and she has been supporting needy women to financially settle in their lives. The present group of women started their class in July-2025. All the women belong to backward community coming from a very humble background.

After finishing the class they will be provided with a sewing machine and necessary tools to start their work as a tailor.

Heartfull thanks to all the donors who made it possible to train hundreds of needy women for the last twenty five years to be independent and earn their living.

Sharing a few latest pictures from Shoshana sewing centre, Nagaralu.

All the women are housewives and looking for an opportunity to work on their own. Husbands are daily wage workers like painters, construction workers and coolies.  In order to help the family, these women are looking forward for work as soon as they finish the class.

The present group of women started the sewing class last year in Aug-2024 and two of them are almost at the end of class.  Two other women finished early and in their place two new ones joined.

Just want to share a few pics from our medical project at a waste picking area, Chirala.

 Majority of the people here are  waste pickers so exposed to heavy pollution and harsh conditions. People mostly have infections due to poor sanitation and drinking water.

Shoshana is providing basic first aid help for this backward community including vitamin supplements and free B.P pressure and sugar checkups.

Some of the local people provided with a  room where we can operate medical centre with a regular nurse.
