Skills Training of 100 Persons with Disabilities

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for your encouragement towards our goals!

After the setback we faced due to our training laptops being stolen, we were back on track to commence the training sessions from October. Two of our partner schools began the 10 week long training process, for children with hearing impairment. We were also proud to have enrolled 80% girls in our training batch this year. Both training sessions ended in December however certificates will be awarded in January due to the winter vacations.

Moving on, we also partnered with two new schools for children with intellectual impairment, where the focus of the training was to help students to exercise control and improve fine and gross motor movements. For this purpose, the textile design training remained focused on the drawing aspects of the training, and block printing training was also added. The selection for the training was made with the help of the school based on their mental ages and skills, to be selected for either of the training.

With the start of this year, we are looking forward to bring on board more schools to train children with hearing-speech impairment and children with intellectual impairment, in various skills for textile.

We are also inviting different industry professionals to provide feedback and motivate the students to build on their talents and pursue their dreams.

In our way forward, we are looking to expand the trainings offered to allow the schools and students to select from a larger group of skills, enhancing their talents and carving out a path for their future!
