Progress on Community empowerment through the Tailoring Center
Date Posted: 09/25/2025
We are deeply grateful to our donors for their generous support of the sewing income-generating activity at our center. Thanks to your help, 28 caregivers—both men and women—are participating in the sewing training program, gaining valuable skills that foster confidence, dignity, and independence. To implement this initiative, we established a tailoring center, hired a skilled sewing teacher, and purchased all the necessary materials, including sewing machines, practice fabric, threads, needles, scissors, and irons. There have been no delays with this project; some tailors have already begun applying their skills by working near their homes. Initially, we planned to buy a generator for electric sewing machines, as our area lacked electricity. However, since the local government plans to provide electricity by the end of this year, we adjusted our priorities. After discussing with our partners, we redirected funds to purchase sewing machines and fabric for practice. The tailors include both church members and community members. They are mastering practical skills such as operating sewing machines, changing needles, cutting fabric, and sewing various shirt models. This initiative promises long-term benefits for individuals and community development. One inspiring story is that of Anitha, a mother and new tailor, who shared how learning to sew has transformed her life. With her new skills, she is sewing clothes for her neighbors and earning a small income that supports her family financially. Her experience illustrates how this initiative supports and empowers individuals within the community.

How the church will sustain the Cause
Regarding sustainability of cause activities, we will be considering resource optimization, community engagement, and developing alternative revenue streams. We will call for and encourage volunteer participation, Implement Resource-Sharing Initiatives, Develop Self-Sustaining Programs, Seek In-Kind Donations, Create Small Revenue Streams and Invest in Long-Term Financial Planning. We believe that with these approaches we will be able to sustain the benefits of this cause without external funding.
