The low income rural population of our nation often struggles to make ends meet due to limited formal education and lack of job-ready skills. In an effort to reduce this critical gap, we facilitate livelihood intervention like vocational trainings for women and youth across our operating geographies. These trainings help to hone skills, build capacities, and boost their income-generating opportunities. By supporting them to acquire new skills, we hope to instill in them an entreprenurial spirit to leverage these skills into an opportunity to earn.
During August 2022, we flagged off the latest batches of our free tailoring training programs. The initiative organized by our CSR wing, CreditAccess India Foundation equipped over 80 trainees with the fundamentals of tailoring and tassel tying, in association with Samarth Foundation at Gubbi, in Tumkur, Karnataka.
The Foundation also sponsored a training program on Aari work (traditional embroidery) and industrial sewing machine operation for over 120 trainees in association with YellowBag Foundation at Sivakasi, TamilNadu.
After successful completion of the training, each participant received a certificate and a tailoring toolkit. Since its inception, the initiative has empowered over 290 trainees to acquire requisite skills and earn a substantial income to contribute to economic stability of their families.
