We are committed to empowering women in rural India by providing them with valuable tailoring training and skills. Our six-month tailoring program is designed to teach women the basics of sewing, as well as business practices that will help them support their families.
Gyan Jyoty Rural Development welfare Trust has over the years of work understood that tailoring is a profession that can be taught easily to any woman or a group of women irrespective of her education and tailoring is a profession that has nothing to do with climate, caste, creed, or geography. “Clothing” is a basic need and it will forever continue to be. Women can earn money and has a continuous source of income.
Hence Gyan Jyoty Rural Development welfare Trust proposed to open a small tailoring training unit and each topper from this unit will be granted a sewing machine by us. During this pandemic, many families have lost their bread earners to Covid-19. Many women prefer tailoring over, working as a housemaid or a housekeeping staff in cottages, and hotels. This is a profession where they do not have to go out for work. Women can work at their own convenient time and even can manage their daily domestic chores.
Gyan Jyoty Rural Development welfare Trust operates from a remote village called Bakrour, Bodhgaya with the project’s mission being to equip rural women and girls with vocational skills to support themselves and their families for a better living. The women will be able to purchase or loan sewing machines through the center to enable them to start their own small business in their respective villages. They will also be able to procure contracts from shops in the cities for stitching ready-made garments. The programme aims to foster among them a sense of ownership, empowerment and future development.
