Women Empowerment

Yuman Hussain

In India, more than half of the rural women and young girls are living in poverty with a limited education. Illiteracy and lack of opportunities at village level hinders these women from finding quality jobs to support their families. They are often at risk of being trapped in dehumanizing professions as Kishanganj lies in the human trafficking zone in order to feed their children. This project will empower poor women and girls in rural villages of Kishanganj with valuable sewing skills and a sewing machine so they can earn a respectable living and help their families. 
 Azad India Foundation is working in Kishanganj which is one of the poorest districts of Bihar.The women and girls will attend Azad India Foundation's tailoring center and receive six months of training, where they will develop their sewing skills and learn about basic business practices. Once a woman /girl attains skills from the tailoring program, she will receive her own sewing machine. She will be able to start her own tailoring business from home and earn a daily income that can provide food and basic necessities for the whole family. 
 The project will empower 50 women and girls each year with sewing skills and provide them with a sewing machine to start their own self-sustaining tailoring business. These women will have an opportunity to use their skills to rise out of poverty and work toward a promising future for themselves and their families.The long term impact would help the poor families in living their lives with dignity.They will be able to break the vicious circle of poverty.

Sewing machines to 50 girls from marginalized groups 

Azad India Foundation is working in Kishanganj district of Bihar.The rural economy is dependent on agriculture and livestock rearing.Due to high population density the agriculture is unable to provide the livelihood support for the families.Many rural families are always indebted to local moneylenders and worst affected are the women especially single or widows who do not have any source of the income. 
 Rearing goats is one of the ways to enhance the financial independence for the poor women since goats are easy to raise and maintain. They do not require any particular care also their reproduction rate is higher (8 months) then other animals. They need less space in the home for the up keep. AIF also aims to provide training to the women for goat rearing. 
 Goat rearing will get 25 marginalized women a respectable livelihood that will lead to better life. They will be able to look after their families by selling milk and meat thus breaking the vicious circle of poverty. They will be able to educate their children.In the long run they can avail government loans as well to build their business.
