Women Livelihood Skill Training Program

WEEDS is providing Tailoring and Aari Embroidery skill training to underprivileged, single, and abandoned women in the Mangadu (suburban) and Padappai (rural) regions. This program helps women learn income-generating skills so they can support their families, become small-scale entrepreneurs, work from home, or secure jobs in garment units.

Your donation will help us continue offering free training, learning materials, and a safe training space for women who have no other means to improve their livelihood.

By supporting this initiative, you are giving a woman the chance to rebuild her life with dignity, financial independence, and confidence.

Help us empower more women to stand on their own.

We seek support to run Tailoring and Aari Embroidery training batches across Mangadu and Padappai regions. Donations will help cover trainer salaries, learning kits, rent, electricity, and center maintenance.
