LEARN FOR LIFE TAILORING PROJECT
Our Tailoring Project is committed to Community and Women's Empowerment.
In Indian traditional society, women are usually restricted to domestic work and do not enjoy economical independence. That is why it is important to create job opportunities for them.
Moreover, professional tailoring is normally considered as a 'man's job' in India and therefore to acquire professional tailoring skills for a woman becomes truly empowering. The all-woman staff is trained to design and produce tailored goods which are sold under the "LEARN for LIFE" brand.
All products sold are hand-made, the fabrics used are hand-printed and many are hand-woven and only natural dyes are used according the traditional techniques.
100% of profits go to further support the project.
