Enhancing Capabilities For Better Opportunities

The 5th Meghalaya Aajivika Saras Fair 2024 celebrated women entrepreneurs and their incredible journey. A special highlight this year was the participation of women trained at USHA's - Meghalaya State Rural Livelihoods Society (MSRLS) Training cum Production Centers. From designing their own outfits to walking the ramp, many even brought their children along, turning the stage into a powerful statement of empowerment and self-expression.

USHA has brought sewing skills to countless women. But as the program grew, a need emerged for more skilled trainers. To meet this demand, USHA invested in the existing Silai School entrepreneurs.

USHA silai school women entrepreneurs from across India have gathered for the next milestone in their journey with USHA - an advanced training programme. Women who'd built their own businesses, were trained to become Master Trainers.

From sewing machine repair and maintenance to financial literacy, design input, and health education. These skills are transformative, enabling women to run enterprises efficiently, diversify their income, and elevate their social and economic status.

For many women, this advanced training is more than just mastering a craft-it's about gaining even more confidence to stand on their own.
