Silke's visit to Shoshana sewing centre - Gamela bazar, Vijayawada.

The sewing project at Gamela Bazar, Vijayawada was initiated to support women from some of the most vulnerable sections of society, particularly waste-picker women and single mothers who are often treated as outcasts and face social discrimination and economic hardship.

Ms.Silke- Shoshana Germany visited the project for the first time. She is documenting their journey with Shoshana. We showed her that these women depend largely on daily income and have very limited opportunities to learn a skill or find stable employment. Through the free sewing training, they were given an opportunity to learn a practical skill that can help them earn an income with dignity.

The Gamela bazar project is not only about teaching sewing. It is about giving women who are often negleted and looked down upon giving an opportunity to rebuild their lives with confidence and hope We are grateful to our supporters and donors of Shoshana whose contribution makes such meaningful changes possible.
