During May 2026, the Tailoring Training Program for women participants was successfully conducted and completed with the objective of empowering women through vocational skill development and livelihood opportunities. The training covered Normal Chudi Drafting and Stitching, Normal Blouse Drafting and Stitching, with active participation from all trainees who showed great enthusiasm and dedication in both theoretical and practical sessions. Despite challenges faced by some participants due to family responsibilities and school holidays, additional support and revision classes were arranged to ensure successful completion of the syllabus. The program significantly improved the women’s tailoring skills, self-confidence, and motivation towards self-employment and financial independence. A Certificate Distribution Ceremony was held on 26.05.2026 in the presence of AHT (Anti-Human Trafficking) Project Manager Sr. Pauline, Chief Guest Sr. Louia, and Project Coordinator Sr. Isabella, during which certificates were distributed to all 20 participants. An exhibition showcasing tailoring works such as Petticoats, Frocks, Umbrella Frocks, Chudithars, Blouses, and other practice materials reflected the participants’ creativity and practical learning achievements. The women expressed gratitude for the opportunity while also highlighting the need for proper sewing machine maintenance to improve future training sessions. Overall, the program created a positive impact by strengthening women’s skills, confidence, and economic empowerment, encouraging them towards self-reliance and a dignified livelihood.
