New India Foundation Trust’s (NIFT) started the Sewing Center in 2017 with a donation of two non-electric sewing machines, sewing supplies, textiles and a small stipend for a part-time sewing instructor. Today, dozens of young women have graduated from the NIFT’s sewing program with a moneymaking skill and a high-status certificate of ability that is proof of their ability. The program is a popular one in the urban slums where it is located and there is a waiting list to attend. The sewing center at Vikas puri provides training for up to 150 women at a purpose-built centre in Slum. The center provides an important supportive environment for the women to meet and when certain skill levels have been achieved the project provides a sewing machine which can supply the successful trainee with the vitally important independent source of income. Saving and credit schemes have also been implemented and women’s fairs with drama and community activities organized.
