Sewing for Self-Sufficiency
Pinki Tamang is a 20-year-old Nepalese woman who is determined to provide a better life for her family. Her husband is a taxi driver in Kathmandu, but his job doesn't pay well. Despite working day and night, he still struggles to make ends meet and is often left with almost nothing in his pocket, as most of his earnings go to his taxi-owner. Unfortunately, his financial struggles have led him to turn to gambling and alcoholism, creating a difficult situation for Pinki and their young son.
However, Pinki is not one to give up easily. She has decided to take matters into her own hands and learn tailoring skills to start her own business. Pinki has already shown great skill in her sewing classes and is eager to make her dream a reality. She hopes that her business will not only provide a better life for her family, but also serve as an example for her son of the true value of hard work.
While Pinki is confident in her abilities, she knows that she will need some financial support to make her business a reality. With the help of our sewing school, Pinki and other at-risk women in Nepal are given the opportunity to gain valuable skills and start their own businesses. By supporting our sewing school, you are not only helping Pinki and her family, but also empowering women in Nepal to become independent and self-sufficient.
