SEWING AND TAILORING
Equipping with sewing skills
Employed to make clothes
Over the last year, LOLT trained ~150 women in sewing, tailoring and apparel design. 30 of them were consequently employed to make uniforms for school children. This new skill has enabled them to be earning members of their family.
With support from Lions Club of Mumbai Queensway, a sewing & tailoring unit was started to employ 30 women.
JEWELRY DESIGN
Women taught jewelry design
Jewelry sold at LOLT events
In the last year, 25 women were trained in Jewelry Design. A new Jewelry Design Center was opened in Maharashtra employing 10 women to make jewelry. Jewelry, made by these women, is displayed at various LOLT events, thereby providing them with an earning opportunity.
COMPUTER SOFTWARE TRAINING
Equipping with software skills
Computer usage and proficiency training is offered across 54 villages and graduated 180 folks in the last year. Given the growing demand and importance of this skillset and thanks to partnership from Rivergate Resort, we expanded this offering and built 2 additional centers in 2018. Graduates of this program are able to access Data entry jobs in Tata Industries.
BEAUTICIAN TRAINING
Hands on learning
In the last year, ~200 women successfully completed the Beautician course. Participants learn about facials, make-up and hair styling. They also get an opportunity to practice on each other. The practice allows them to strengthen their skills and learn from each other in a safe environment.
