Care for You, through its commitment to women’s empowerment and sustainable livelihoods, actively supports initiatives that enable rural women to achieve financial independence. One such impactful initiative is the Usha Silai School, which is bringing new hope and opportunities to women from underserved communities.
About the Usha Silai School Initiative
The Usha Silai School program, launched by Usha International Ltd., focuses on providing tailoring and stitching skills to rural women, enabling them to start their own micro-enterprises from home. The initiative promotes self-reliance, confidence, and economic stability.
Care for You’s Role in the Program
As part of its CSR and community development efforts, Care for You facilitated the implementation of the Usha Silai School by mobilizing women from local communities and supporting structured skill training. Special focus was given to women from economically weaker sections, ensuring inclusive participation and long-term impact.
Key Components of the Training
- Tailoring & Stitching Skills: Hands-on training in garment cutting, stitching, and finishing.
- Entrepreneurship Development: Guidance on starting and managing small tailoring businesses.
- Skill Certification: Participants receive certification upon successful completion.
- Livelihood Support: Women are encouraged to train others, creating a ripple effect of empowerment.
Impact on Rural Women
The Usha Silai School initiative has significantly improved the lives of participating women. Many trainees have started earning a stable income, supporting their families, and contributing to their children’s education. Beyond financial gains, the program has strengthened women’s confidence and social standing within their communities.
Building Sustainable Communities
By promoting skill-based livelihoods, the initiative aligns with broader goals of women’s empowerment, poverty reduction, and sustainable development. Care for You believes that empowering women at the grassroots level is key to building resilient and self-sustaining communities.
