Dear Project Donor of ARTS Foundation,
This is immense pleasure for ARTS Foundation Pakistan to share with you the project’s second another beneficiary success story via GlobalGiving to keep updated to you with achievements made through your generous support to empower most vulnerable segments i.e. orphan girls living in hard conditions and for flung areas in Sindh province of Pakistan.
The pictured girl is Kiran an eighteen years old orphan, a beneficiary of the project, benefitted through GlobalGiving funded project ‘Orphan Girls Empowerment through Vocational Skills Project’. She belongs to a small village near to city Mirpurkhas and lives with her brothers and sisters. Kiran has completed just class 5th as she could not continue her education due to sudden death of her father and later on mother. Actually, she wanted to be a an advocate to fight for rights of girls and women but due to sudden death of her father and later on mother’s she could not make her dream true to be an advocate.
The field team of ARTS Foundation reached to Kiran through a Community Mid Wife (CMW) to identify the neediest and interested girls to provide tailoring training to learn and earn decent. In the first meeting she showed her enthusiasm and will to get enrolled to learn dress making to earn well in a decent way. Kiran proved by maintaining 95% attendance and learning full kids and girls dress-stitching within one and half months.
Sharing with regard to the training experience she said, this training not only enabled me to tailor the cloths but I would say, this training has tailored well my life and given me line to a decent life. I am able to talk confidently with my public and behave like a professional ladies tailor by putting fewer efforts in a decent way then my previous work in the fields. I am earning around more than rupees 4500/day which means not less than rupees 10000/month. I am doing this whole earning sitting in home by looking after my brothers and sisters as well and I am feeling so happy and respected.
I am really thankful with core of heart for your support and making possible to happen such a great project in Mirpurkhas. Please feel free to contact me with any query, comment or idea at www.artsfoundation.org.pk
