sewing is ideal for them where the seasonal work is unstable, travelling long distances for work is difficult especially when they have to care for the kids at home.
After finishing the class women can sew in free hours after daily wage work, creating an additional income stream without quitting their main job or they can save money by stitchingfor their own family clothes.
Insome cases it can turn into a main source of income, not just an extra support.

With a very little investment they can start working like taking orders from tailoring shops. There are many different options to earn with dignity and independence.
