An initiative was undertaken in Lucknow to make adolescent girls self-reliant through skill development. Under the programme, sewing machines were distributed to 10 adolescent girls who had received training. The objective is to link them with self-employment, make them economically empowered, and provide opportunities to earn a livelihood through their skills.
With the sewing machines, the girls will now be able to start sewing work from home. They can increase their income through stitching clothes, repairs and other related work. The initiative will give them an opportunity to start work on their own instead of depending on others for employment.
At the programme, emphasis was laid on the importance of skill training, and it was said that connecting adolescent girls with practical skills is an important step towards self-reliance. Employment-oriented skills such as sewing can also help them contribute to strengthening their families’ economic condition.
The aim of the initiative is not only to provide training but also to make available the resources needed for self-employment. The distribution of sewing machines will give the beneficiaries an opportunity to move forward by using their skills.
