To impart skill and employment opportunities to marginalized women to gain financial independence and self-reliance as well as improved standards of living, Tare Zameen Foundation came up with an initiative to empower these women through micro-entrepreneurship and thus launched the “Tailoring Training Program”. The spirit of this program is to conduct programs for women to secure a sustainable livelihood, and build up confidence among Self Help Groups (SHGs). The self-employment training programs have made a difference in the lives of many women & their families, as they have been learning (some of them have even started their micro-enterprise) tailoring, embroidery, and stitching. Deprived women & girls have been learning and some of them have started their micro-enterprise in tailoring & embroidery and stitching. They have enhanced their skills in stitching different types of blouses, zari work on sarees, school children's uniforms stitching, and many more.

PROPOSED INTERVENTION

With a view to upgrade the hitherto skill training program to empower the women in terms of financial independency as well as community organization, TZF has planned to integrate the inputs of the prime Fashion Design Institutes in order to tackle the current design trends in markets and balance the demand supply chain with much more market intelligence. The dedicated skill training course will be designed keeping all these factors at the prime focus and to train a special team for Product promotion at both digital and physical marketplace. This comprehensive program will provide workplace as well as market support in input procurement as well as output delivery along with great opportunity for self -Employment and Entrepreneurship Development. Market Trends awareness campaign helps to access due information about the competitive price discovery as well as trending fashions to make the enterprise more sustainable and meaningful. The certification of the beneficiaries will be availed through National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under Self Employed tailor course (AMH/Q1947).
