Sewing The Sustainable Future Of India By Empowering Rural People
USHA Silai School Program is not only limited to giving sewing lessons to individuals and a silai machine to open their own silai school, but it also aims to empower both women and men through various means. In one such move, in Meghalaya, where plastic bags have been banned by the state government, USHA Silai School has trained women to make cloth bags, providing women with a source of income. Along with this, USHA has partnered with the Blind Relief Association in Delhi to provide sewing training to visually impaired students.
