Our free 6-month intensive tailoring program serves as a catalyst for women's careers, providing not only sewing and stitching skills but also general life and entrepreneurial training. This empowerment enhances their economic independence, self-sufficiency, and confidence, opening new opportunities for them to contribute to their communities.

Experience

Our program helps women experience significant positive changes in their lives. Many secure employment in factories, contributing to household income and gaining financial independence. Some become entrepreneurs, starting their own businesses and creating job opportunities within their communities. Working with organizations like Silai Wilai further enhances their skills, giving them access to larger markets and sustainable income .

Empowerment comes from the ability to transform one's life. Through our program, women gain not only the skills but also the tools to become self-reliant. By mastering stitching and sewing, they can start their own businesses, contribute to their household income, and achieve financial independence. This newfound autonomy helps them take control of their futures and make empowered choices.

Testimonials

Kavita, Zirakpur

“I always dreamed of contributing to my family’s income but never had the opportunity. After completing the Silai School training, I started designing garments and taking custom orders. My business is thriving now, and I’ve even started training other women in my village. Seeing their confidence grow gives me immense joy.”

Sushma, Mauli Jagran

“As a widow, I faced endless challenges. Silai School didn’t just teach me sewing—it gave me a lifeline. With my own sewing business, I can now support my family. I’ve also become a Local Resource Person, training other women and helping them find opportunities to improve their lives. It feels amazing to lead and give back to my community.”
