SHOSHANA SEWING CENTRE, ANAPARTHI.




 Shoshana focused mainly on needy women who are uneducated and unemployed.

 The centre at Shoshana sewing centre, Anaparthi has  more muslim women getting free training in sewing. These women  come from rural background depended mainly on agriculture but  most of them are  not allowed to work outside of the home . The sewing training will provide self employment at their home, can give them a daily income.

The training will provide skills in embroidery and tailoring. Both training and employment help women to become self reliant.

These new earning help them to give better education for their children as well as support their family.

Shoshana is setting up first aid centres at different rural areas and urban slums, which is particularly important for isolated or deprived population groups that may not have the means to access these basic medical services otherwise.

 These areas are located far away from  the hospitals. No proper transportation to reach for the nearest medical help.  Shoshana is setting up first aid centres in such areas which could help them in emergencies.

 The local societies are helping in taking  nurses who are ready to work in such areas where the needy people should be able to get any medicines or services without any hindrance.

Shoshana distributes Sewing machines to the needy women

First day of the visit to the projects along with our Managing Director of Shoshana - Mrs.Martha for this year -2018.


Thanks to all the donors who made it possible to provide sewing machines to the women who finished their training in sewing so that they could start the work on their own.

Some of the pics of the ladies from various groups who got the machines .

It was difficult for us to short list the recepients of sewing machines as so many of them are in need. We choose the one who has more responsibility of supporting their families. It would be their first step on the way of becoming independent.

They thank the donors who fulfilled their dream of having their own sewing machine.

All of them come from a very poor financial background. Being school drops out with meagre educational qualifications there are not many second chance options for them except working as agricultural coolies or domestic helpers. Their earnings is not enough to lift the family out of poverty.

The local societies who are working with Shoshana are working in finding out the needy women and encouraging them to attend these free sewing training programs through which they can start up something on their own or take up a job.

Besides their role as a home maker they could as well work from home. The main goal of Shoshana is to help them achieve financial independence , their by supporting their families and providing proper education for their children instead of seeing them as child laborers.

Hi Friends,

Want to share few pics from our sewing projects who started classes for new group of women.

Shoshana has more than 13 sewing projects so far working for the benefit of needy women for the last 17 years.

The sewing projects are still popular and useful for the needy people especially girls who are school drop outs and house wives  as it opens up doors for the home based sewing business.

They start with the basics and proceed on to the dress making courses in a duration of about 8 months to one year. Shoshana provides them with all the necessary materials and an experienced instructor to teach and supervise the classes through out the process.
