Tailor Training
India
A deep-seated caste system has caused the Dalits to not only live a life of limited opportunity, but also perceive their lowly status as permanent and prevailing as it is considered deserved for past ills. Typically, they must endure chronic underemployment with no job security and little opportunity to save for times of illness or their children’s education.
By introducing a funded tailor training program, Dalit women will acquire skills for economic empowerment whilst also breaking their self-perceptions of incompetence. They will come to realise that poverty is something that can be overcome and will demonstrate to their children that change is possible.
