3rd report on Sewing Centers

By Bonnie Mendes | Project Leader

Society for Human Development is striving hard to bring a visible change in the lives of women through rights-based and development initiatives. SHD is striving for a society where women do not feel insecure, and where they have a liberty and freedom of expression and can develop themselves without any social and economic obstacles.

Society for Human Development initiated a sewing centre in Ch# 363 J.B Bamniwala Gojra on 7th September 2020 and total 15 girls and women showed their interest and got enrolled in sewing centre. 15 students have completed one year Cutting, sewing and embroidery course . The girls and their families are extremely happy and they call it a huge benefit for themslev.

With the compeltion of the course, the status of these girls among their families have improved significantly as they are now being involved in the decision making and are valued for their contributions to the income of their families. The skilled girls earned a good profit for their families, especially during the time of Eid el Fitr (a Muslim festival). This has also improved the social harmony among the commnities. These skilled girls are excited and are thankful to Society for Human Development for giving them an opportunity to learn and play an important role in their families and society.

The new batch will start their course during the next month. It is a request to all donors to kindly keep supporting in this cause.
