Sankalp Tailoring Unit & Workshop
Gujarat
Human Welfare Ongoing Vocational Training
Objective
To provide employment-based education/skill which can lead to employment generation for women
in rural/tribal areas.
Why did we do it?
Tetbari in Kaprada is a village along the national highway of Killa Pardi and Nasik. The closest
employment opportunity is nearly 45 kms away with limited transportation options. This proves to
be a major obstacle for women to seek skilled based employment thus forcing them to work as daily
wage labourers or remain unemployed.
What did we do?
Sparsh has set up two tailoring units in Tetbari along the highway making it accessible to women.
The objective is to train the women in stitching various items like cloth bags, pillow covers, bed
covers, sari blouse, salwar kurta, baby frocks and school uniforms. Next to the tailoring unit we have
set up a tailoring workshop which provides them with employment opportunities by generating
regular work orders. Some women after completing their training also choose to work from home
and cater to the orders they receive independently.
Outcome
This project gives women the opportunity to make a living and take their first steps towards financial
independence.
