Empowering Rural Women Through Sewing Training
The affluence of rural women is declining, and they encounter obstacles while attempting to leave their villages for employment. But if we teach them sewing skills, they will definitely learn how to sew, and they will have lots of opportunities to use their skills to generate income so they can sustain themselves and their families.
Sewing Training For Women
The program for sewing is designed for those who are new to sewing and would rather learn at their own pace, but still want to attend the sewing session in person at G1FT. In order to prevent participants from being overwhelmed by information they didn’t understand, we provided a straightforward learning method. The completion of a project following each session is mandatory for participants to ensure they will be more focused on finishing the course.
Upcycling Clothing & Plastic
Since the rise of the fast-fashion industry, customers are becoming more prone to consuming quickly and throwing things away. It encourages customers to keep buying new garments and replacing their old ones by continuously producing new styles at low prices. In the end, this will result in more waste being produced and more resources being collected. There are countless methods to upcycle. The possibilities are endless!
