Usha Silai Schools: A Lifeline For Women To Learn New Skills

Usha Silai Schools are more than just sewing schools-they are a lifeline for women to learn new skills, gain confidence, and take charge of their lives. These schools help women like Sakuben, Jyoti Rani, and Arzoo overcome challenges and become role models in their communities. By teaching them to earn and lead, Usha Silai Schools are giving these women a chance to break free from struggles and build a better future, not just for themselves but for those around them.

Sakuben Ahir and her students craft traditional bridal outfits at Usha Silai School, where women build confidence, skills, and the ability to create financial independence. This empowers them to make informed decisions about their lives and break free from cycles of poverty and dependence.

Jyoti Rani's inspiring journey from poverty to entrepreneurship showcases the strength of the human spirit. A widow who once struggled, she rebuilt her life and now creates opportunities for others in her community.

Arzoo (name changed) lost her husband to HIV, 15 years ago, who unknowingly passed the infection on to her as well. The Native Medicare Charitable Trust (NMCT) had put her on medication, and they were the ones who introduced her to the Usha Silai School programme. Today, she teaches women around her village, how to sew.

At Usha Silai Schools, women are given platforms to lead and advocate, their voices resonate far and wide. With the support provided by Usha Silai Schools, women not just feel empowered but they are also championing inclusivity, equity and dignity for all.
