Since 2012, Vimukti
Charitable Trust (VCT) has been empowering economically vulnerable
women and adolescent girls through six-month, job-oriented tailoring
and fashion-designing training. Participants develop practical
skills in blouse stitching, Zari work, school-uniform stitching, and
basic entrepreneurship, along with guidance on marketing and
accessing financial support. VCT provides essential tailoring
materials, and successful participants receive certificates upon
completion. 75 women benefited from this training, with many going
on to establish home-based micro-enterprises and earning around
₹6,500 per month as supplementary family income.
This additional income helps families meet household needs, pay
children’s school fees, and provide essential educational materials.
More importantly, the programme has strengthened women’s confidence,
dignity, financial independence, and self-reliance, enabling them to
become active contributors to their families and communities.
