Description
This "who's sewing" story is about women who are new in the sewing business. Most women in Bihar, India have never been educated, nor do they possess any marketable business skills. One of the most exciting programs in Bihar trains and equips women to start their own micro-enterprise businesses. The school curriculum and training takes six months. Women learn basic math skills since they have to design their own patterns (no patterns are available at local shops) They learn to sew first on newspapers. Then they sew doll sized clothing for practice. Learning sewing skills has empowered these women with confidence and security. Below you will find 49 pictures of recent graduates. Thanks to funding from "Mark Brister Ministries" and Biju Thomas - a man dedicated to helping change the living conditions both physically and spiritually in India - these ladies below will leave the school with their very own pedal powered sewing machine! Mark Brister Ministries has become a source for funding waterwells, sewing education, medical camp and sharing the love of Jesus in impoverished villages in India.
