The Challenge
In rural India, limited access to vocational education restricts economic opportunities for women. Traditional societal roles and the absence of skill development resources confine them to low-income, unskilled labor, impeding their financial independence and personal development.
The Solution
The Desai Foundation’s Sewing Skill Training program is a strategic initiative designed to address this challenge. It offers comprehensive training in sewing and tailoring, equipping women with marketable skills that open doors to income generation and economic self-reliance. The curriculum encompasses a range of techniques from basic sewing to advanced tailoring, along with essential entrepreneurship skills, enabling participants to either start their own sewing ventures or secure skilled employment in the textile industry.
The Lasting Impact
This program is a catalyst for economic empowerment and social change. It not only enhances the livelihoods of individual women but also contributes to the broader economic development of their communities. By fostering skills and entrepreneurship, the program helps break the cycle of poverty and promotes gender equality in the workforce.

MEET SOWMIYA
I’m Sowmiya, 18, from Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, studying B.Sc. Maths. My parents can’t read or write, and I have siblings with limited education. I faced a scholarship application issue due to the lack of a PAN card, and the deadline was looming. The Desai Foundation Trust’s Heroes came to my rescue, explaining its importance and helping me apply.
Their support was incredible. I got my PAN card in time, securing the scholarship that aids my education. I’m grateful for their help and even guided my college friends. My family and I extend a big thanks to the Desai Foundation Trust.
