Stitching a New Future: Empowering Women Through Tailoring

Over the past 7 years, Project Help India’s Sewing Education Center has transformed the lives of 84 women and girls from some of the poorest communities we serve. Through our 6-month, fully-funded training program, these women—who would otherwise have no opportunity to learn—are mastering the art of tailoring and gaining skills that empower them to earn an income with dignity.

Today, many of these women work from home or operate small shops, stitching garments like Indian salwar suits, shirts, pajamas, and kurtis—clothing always in high demand in India. With their new skills, they are now able to cover essential household expenses including rent, groceries, electricity, and their children's school fees.

The Sewing Center is more than a classroom—it’s a lifeline. With your support, we provide sewing machines, fabric, threads, and all necessary materials. But we need your help to keep this vital work going and to expand our reach to more women in need.
